Jason Livingston

Jason Livingston enlisted in the U.S. Army in July 2004 and served his nation for 10 years.

In 2005 and 2006, Livingston served in Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Later, in 2010 he served as part of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. It was during that deployment, while in Logar Province with the 1-91 Cavalry, 173rd Combat Airborne Brigade, when Livingston’s platoon came under enemy mortar fire. After clearing the area, while making his way back to other members of his platoon, another round of mortar fire struck close to Livingston, causing him to suffer shrapnel wounds that rendered him unconscious and resulted in his being medevaced out.

Today, the married father of two continues to serve his fellow veterans as a volunteer supporting veterans causes. In 2021, Livingston was South Carolina’s honoree during the Purple Heart Patriot Project Mission.
