Michael spent his last year as a teenager deployed in the Vietnam War. At 19, he faced the unfathomable in war-stricken villages in Vietnam – life-altering experiences that would put him in a dark place upon his return home.
“I didn’t come back the same person I was when I left,” says Michael, “and I stayed that way for a long, long time.”
Now, nine years sober, he realizes how fortunate he was to have people who rejuvenated him physically, mentally and spiritually in his journey back to the values he had before the war.
The Purple Heart recipient is helping today’s soldiers returning home through the MHMR of Tarrant County in Texas. His mantra? Help at least one veteran every single day.
