Gary Bostic
Gary’s transformation from the darkness of PTSD to the solid footing he now stands on is an incredibly inspiring one. He brought back the memories he made during his service, but they also took a toll on his mind. However, he chose to heal the same way he fought for his freedom in combat: by reaching out for help, sharing the experiences he could no longer keep within the secret chambers of his mind, because he chose to undertake the painful process of healing. Over the years, the nightmares dissipated, the grip of tension relaxed its hold on his body, and he was able to trust the peace in his life. Gary now walks forward in life with the strength of purpose to prove that strength doesn't just lie in battle but in the strength that comes from taking back one’s life.
