Stube from Covington, Tennessee, was very seriously wounded during Operation Medusa in Afghanistan, September 2006. As his fighting vehicle moved up a hill, it was hit by an IED - seriously wounding Stube. Focusing on his wounds and pulling from his Special Forces medical training, Stube guided other SF A-team members in combat trauma care until he was moved out of danger. Stube joined the Army in 1988 as an infantryman. His wife, Donna, and their young son, Gregory Jr., reside in Cameron, N.C. His awards include the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, multiple Army Commendation Medals, and many other notable military honors. Today, Greg joins us in the midst of his newest mission in life -- his post-retirement objective of bringing home the leadership principles and values that he learned on the battlefield; and perhaps more significant, are those he learned in the hospital. His renewed purpose in life is the application of those principles and values to the betterment of our society, and the preservation of our outdoor culture.
