Craig Grossi, a Marine  doing intelligence work for a RECON unit —the most elite fighters in the Corps—in a remote part of Afghanistan , tells his story of time in country, surviving a rocket attack, adopting a scruffy local dog “Fred” and smuggling him out of the country. But the story of “Craig Fred” is a coming home from war story of TBI, PTSD, lost friends, and new experiences. It is honest and inspiring. Host Jim Fausone finds this one of the best reads of the year.
