I’m going to read you an excerpt from One Man’s Mission, a
three-year-old story, but one that continues to resonate to this
day in positive ways. A little background: Corporal Ozzie Martinez
had hit rock bottom. After returning home in 2006 from two
tours in Iraq, he suffered from depression. His Marine Corps
company had taken the most casualties out of his battalion, and he
says he had survivor’s guilt. He put on weight. He was
self-medicating with alcohol. He was separated from his wife. But
luckily he turned things around, starting Operation Wetvet, which
aims to shine a light on PTSD. Learn more about your ad choices.
