DEDICATIONS
To the loss of an average of 20 Veterans per day; 7,300 Veterans per year; 109,500 during my
Navy career; and 350,400 during my lifetime (as of 2019). The loss of even a single Veteran, of any single person, to PTSD is one too many. The loss of anyone to PTSD is one too many. My deepest possible hope is that this book is able to change these statistics for the better, and that my brother and sister Veterans, their families, their friends and their caregivers can find some measure of peace and hope, in their fight of their own personal war on PTSD. It’s no longer time to fight for who I was...it’s time to fight for who I am. I hope that you all feel the same way... either now, or after reading this book, from the library, from a bookstore shelf or even from the hands of a friend. I want to be able to finally say, “I got your six” and actually save your life in the process.
