Description
This week’s Urban Valor episode features Marine Captain Kelsie Hancock. Kelsie grew up in Southern Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay, fishing and crabbing. She went to school across the street from Patuxent River Naval Air Station and would watch the jets fly over and knew she wanted to be a Marine since the 4th grade. During her enlistment, Kelsie was reunited with a former school colleague at a camping trip in Zion National Park, Marine Captain, and V-22 Osprey Pilot Nick Losapio. The two hit it off, started dating, and became engaged. Unfortunately, Captain Nick Losapio was killed during an Osprey crash in June of 2022, 58 days before he and Kelsie were set to be married. Kelsie has since reenlisted in the Marines as a reserve officer to help her get back on her feet and honor what Nicked loved to be with his comrades. This is a devastating listen, so we ask you to show your love and support for Kelsie Hancock as she courageously and openly shares her story without fear or holding back. We're honored and appreciative of Kelsie's willingness to share her story with Urban Valor and co-founder Josh Guiterrez.

As a marine veteran who lost the love of her life, Nick Losapio, Kelsie Hancock is sharing her story to help give other veterans the confidence to share their military stories and for combat veterans to share their war stories as well. Talking to people and opening up about your feelings helps, and we at Urban Valor want nothing less than for our veterans to get the help and support they truly deserve. #military #veteran #urbanvalor #war #warstories #combatvetern #foxnews #cnn

Kelsie isn't the stereotypical soldier or Marine you normally see portrayed(cold, detached, etc). She's so kind, sweet, empathetic, thoughtful and gentle. You can tell what a kind soul she truly is. Nick sounds like he was a good man in life and to her. My heart breaks that she has had such tragedy at such a young age. I hope that life is kinder to her moving forward...she deserves it.

Such an elegant beautiful woman. Nick was a very fortunate man. I can feel her pain coming right out of the screen. God Bless her and Nick.

I lost my fiance whom i met in 1990 in Air Force tech school and reconnected with him in 2015. We were together 3 years and then i found him dead from fentynal overdose. I lost the love of my life...and ironically he had written me the sweetest text that day....
