This sounds like an intense and real story. Craig, I would love to hear your story because mental health and veterans are topics our society tends to shy away from. I think it would be powerful if your story was shared.
I would love to hear your story and give you a voice. Thank you for your sacrifice in fighting for our freedom. Forever grateful.
Would like to know more.
