    About this ebook

    This book is filled with poetry and words from a U.S. Air Force Veteran that documents his military service and the after-effects of war including depression, PTSD, and stress. The rise from the darkest parts of our minds are explored in the pursuit of happiness, hope, and family. See the world through his eyes. Let this be a step in the right direction to shedding light on the mental health of our active duty and veteran military members.
