At every home game, USC and Sport Clips partner to celebrate a veteran of the armed forces. This weekend, it was Jose Cevallos, an 11-year Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient.
Cevallos joined the Army in 2004, and was deployed to Iraq twice and Afghanistan once. While in Afghanistan for his final mission, his vehicle was struck by a rocket propelled grenade, resulting in a traumatic brain injury, along with other severe injuries. He was awarded a Purple Heart for his courage and heroism.
Now, Cevallos is working toward a Bachelor's degree in Human Services, and plans to apply to USC's Master's in Social Work program upon graduating in 2017. AD Lynn Swann presented Cevallos with a USC Medal of Courage on Saturday.
