Watch how a Purple Heart Marine who lost both legs found his way back, chasing Dall sheep in the Northwest Territories.

Together We Carry On

Veteran of the United States Marine Corps and Purple Heart recipient, Jonathon Blank embodies the shared resilience of our armed service members. During his service, Jonathon sustained injuries that resulted in the loss of both his legs. Throughout his recovery, Jonathon searched for something that replicated the brotherhood, camaraderie and adventure he’d experienced as a Marine. He found what he was looking for in hunting. In the company of fellow Kansan, Cole Kramer, Jonathon took to the mountains of the Northwest Territories, home to an animal many hunters dream of, the Dall sheep. With the help of a few friends, Together We Carry On follows Jonathon’s journey to create new memories and meaning in his life.
