Heroes at home: Injured vets now hunt child predators

The HERO -- Human Exploitation Rescue Operative -- program is designed for wounded, injured and ill veterans to receive training in sophisticated computer forensics, to join federal agents fighting against online child sexual exploitation. The veterans receive 11 weeks of intensive training and 10 months of on-the-ground experience.

This is a great program, giving veterans the ability to defend the nation and continue in a field in which they find satisfaction through having purpose. All of the veterans in this program were either injured in combat or became sick as a result their service.

J. Christian the CEO, is an Army Ranger who fractured his spine during a mission in Afghanistan, says many of the veterans who come into HERO are hoping to regain that something they lost when they left the service.
