James Hatch spent 26 years in military service, 22 of them as a Navy SEAL.
His military career ended in 2009 when he was severely injured, his life saved by his teammates and their working dog. That marked the beginning of a long and challenging recovery that included multiple surgeries and mental health struggles.
In 2019, at age 52, Jimmy enrolled as Yale University’s oldest freshman ever.
Now, as a Yale graduate, he tries to bridge the growing divide between the two worlds that have shaped him.
