Uncommon Valor: A Conversation with Purple Heart Recipient Nick Kalt

In this episode, Brian Beckcom speaks with United States Marine
Corps Captain and Purple Heart Recipient Nick Kalt. Nick served
as a commander for a platoon of Combat Engineers in the 1st
Combat Engineer Battalion.


Nick was badly injured during a training exercise in the Marines.
Nevertheless, he was able to figure out a way to pass the intense
physical requirements to be a Marine Corps Officer.


Nick was then deployed to Iraq. While deployed, he received
wounds that eventually led to his medical retirement from the
USMC. Nick was awarded the Purple Heart, Navy Commendation Medal
with Combat “V,” and the Combat Action Ribbon.
