It was a different venue yesterday at the Johnson County Sheriff’s Training Center, and a terrific and very important one at best. I was asked by the Veteran’s Affairs (VA) to give a 45 minute talk on my personal experiences in combat and my difficult journey afterwards. The talk focused on veterans that suffer from a TBI (traumatic brain injury) and or PTSD along with a host of other disabilities. A veteran in crisis can be complicated for both the veteran and police, specifically when there is an altercation/interaction. Sometimes our police can misidentify when a combat veteran is struggling and in distress, and are undiagnosed without knowing they suffer from a traumatic brain injury, which can lead to certain impulse control struggles. The brain is extremely complicated and I tried my best to inform these the cops from the Johnson County Sheriff’s training Center the signs and symptoms of a veteran with a TBI. I couldn’t believe how interactive and interested they were in the discussion. I truly felt a deep sense of care and willingness from these law enforcement officials to better understand us veterans. I want to thank them personally for allowing me to come in and interact with them. It was a terrific experience for me and extremely rewarding.

Thank you Dr Heidi Knock for reaching out to ask me to come in and speak!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Since last Memorial Day I’ve been writing a manuscript from my daily journal I kept with me during the invasion of Iraq. Today, exactly 23 years ago, at 0200 hours in the morning we made our way to Objective Peach! Crossing the mighty Euphrates River over the Al-Kaed Bridge, which was a 433 meter long bridge running the length of over 4 football fields. On the other side of the river was the Medina Division of Saddam Hussein’s Elite Republican Guard. We fought our way across the half destroyed bridge during the day against an overwhelming entrenched heavily armored enemy force that would not surrender. After hours of combat during the daytime hours, we made it across and set into a hasty defense protecting the bridge during the early evening hours of April 2. Later that night at roughly 0345 hours we were counter-attached by a reinforced Hammurabi Brigade of the Republican Guards. We viciously repelled the counterattack destroying the brigade; and would later find out it was the largest conventional counter attack of the entire Iraq War. I have over 130 single spaced pages written thus far and have been writing about Objective Peach since January. I have a long ways to go, but it’s been extremely healing and validating to understand the dangers I went through. Who knows, maybe someday this manuscript will become a book! I’m proud to have served with Task Force 3-69 Armor and 2-7 Infantry.

I want to thank my former Task Force Commander Lieutenant Colonel Rock Marcone for sending me the official copy of the “Task Forces Log of Events”. Sir. It’s been extremely helpful with my manuscript. I can’t thank you enough-“Speed and Power”

The second round of the day was last night, back home on Indiana University’s main campus here in Bloomington, partnering with other veteran resource agencies. It was terrific collaborating with a host of other veteran keynote speakers!! And the students were fantastic and very engaged!😊

We had a “double-header” yesterday at Indiana University’s Indianapolis campus. The number of students was two times larger than any class yet (roughly 80 students). Way to go Professor Todd Burkhardt. I love being a part of this program and giving back as much as I can to help our future healthcare and other providers stay better informed when treating veterans in the real world once they graduate.

Sharing my personal stories on combat has given me such a strong sense of healing and way forward. I can’t tell you how grateful I feel.
These speaking opportunities have given me so much!! It has re-given me purpose and a sense of pride.

“The more you give, the more you get”!!😊🇺🇸❤️
