A couple'a Rangers contacted me about a week ago and told me they were planning this amazing Ranger trek - I'll let you see what they're up to.  It's going to be a lot of fun to see where they end up and how they accomplish getting there. The most important part of their trip will be the awareness they (with your help) are able to raise.  If Rangers (and other veterans) don't know about GallantFew, they won't volunteer as mentors or reach out for a connection as they transition.  Too many try it on their own, and it's not a one-man (or woman) patrol.  You always need a Ranger buddy, a Battle buddy. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/nomadic-veterans https://twitter.com/BSConcepts https://www.facebook.com/BlacksideConcepts http://www.blacksideconcepts.com/ https://havokjournal.squarespace.com/

On my fifth deployment I was injured in Mosul Iraq and two members of my team were killed. I began drinking heavily then upon my return to the states. May 7 2005 I was drinking and driving and flipped my car I was ejected and broke my neck at c6c7 making me a quadriplegic. As a result of my accident I spent 19 straight months in the hospital. When I finally went home I turned to drugs and alcohol to cover up my PTSD. My actions destroyed my Marriage and the people around me. The very woman that had helped to save my life in the hospital and had married me while I was still in the hospital was verbally abused for 6 years because I was not facing my PTSD. Thankfully God gave her the strength to divorce me this year and move on.  I was devastated but my Ranger brothers pulled me back from the brink and it motivated me to fight PTSD and help my brothers. That is why I have been on this journey this last month to motivate myself and my brothers, and without a doubt it is working...RLTW" Join us to learn how he is healing and what he
