Expand/CollapseBIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Cole J. Benedict was born in Wanamingo, Minnesota. He enlisted in the Marines at 17 years old after graduating from Kenyon-Wanamingo High School in May 2005. During his first tour of duty Benedict served as a breacher with the vehicle-based reconnaissance unit of the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) in Iraq in late 2005-2006. He was injured when an improvised explosive device (IED) struck the vehicle he was riding in. Benedict later served on an anti-piracy mission aboard the U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship USS Tarawa stationed off the coast of Djibouti, Africa from 2007-2008. In 2009, Benedict began an eight month tour in Afghanistan, where he served with a mortar unit due to his previous injury. While stationed at outposts patrolling nearby mountains Benedict was struck in the shoulder by a ricocheted bullet. After his military tours, he worked as a certified emergency medicial technician (EMT) in St. Cloud and later as a paramedic at North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale while teaching at the St. Paul Fire Station 51, known as Freedom House.
