My mission is to honor and support the silent sacrifices of our nations combat care warriors (nurses, doctors, technicians, medics, respiratory therapists, and others), by connecting our warriors to programs which will provide support, empowerment, and recognition. I am committed to fostering resilience and growth, helping these unsung heroes transition from the shadows of war to a future illuminated by hope and camaraderie. Together, we stand in unity, moving forward with strength, courage, and the shared bond of unwavering service.

 As part of my mission to support veterans and those facing mental health challenges, I provide various services, including book signings, book readings, and group discussions. These events create spaces for connection, healing, and understanding.

The power of sharing my stories became evident to me while deployed. Initially, I documented my experiences for my family, hoping they would understand why I came home different.  

However, I soon realized that life’s challenges are not just mine, but other combat warriors may feel the same, that in some way they may resonate with fellow veterans who had faced similar trials. 

As I started to write my book, it became clear that whether or not we’ve served in conflict zones, we all encounter our own battles and dark moments. Many silently grapple with inner struggles. This shared struggle binds us together. If you’re reading this, know that our experiences echo within each other.

Despite our unique hardships, you’re never truly alone. This message is for you. We all wrestle with life’s battles, feeling broken and questioning our certainties. Yet, we stand resilient, breathing and summoning the strength to persevere. 

Our resilience is the true wonder of existence—not avoiding suffering but growing from it. We learn to carry our wounds, honor those we’ve lost, and create space for hope, joy, and love. Even in the darkest times, light persists, revealing the remarkable tenacity of the human spirit. 

The journey isn’t easy, but by bravely sharing our truths, seeking support, and recognizing unseen scars, we find acknowledgment. 

Together, we replace silence with compassion, understanding, and unity.
