  • 65.2% Had a Military experience that was so frightening, horrible, or upsetting that they had not been able to escape from the memories or the effects of it
  • 43% of Warriors report having a Traumatic Brain Injury
“I went to a foreign country and when I came back, this was the foreign country. I am lost, scared, and don’t know what to do to make it better.”
