Ryan Job was a decorated Navy Seal, a family man, and a modern-day American hero who served his country faithfully. Though he was blinded in the war in Iraq, he didn’t let that stop him from living life to the fullest and portraying his faith in his everyday life.

movements of the Sixties were global. The “long 1960s,” the period that stretched from 1954 to 1975, followed the second World War of the century; even the name connotes the new scale of the world.
