Freedom is coveted most by those who know its price. Join actor and former Army Ranger Tim Abell as he introduces viewers to some of America's finest – soldiers who have been wounded in combat but whose love of hunting has helped them overcome the physical and emotional scars of war. Along the way, you will come to know the sacrifice of these soldiers as they share their experiences in distant lands while at the same time returning to a favorite hunting setting – the kind of place that sustained them from foxholes to hospital wards. These are American stories that you will never forget – especially when you witness the outpouring of support from a truly grateful nation.
