"As a U.S. Army Veteran from Operation Iraqi Freedom, like a lot of soldiers I have struggled with alcohol addiction, drug addiction, PTSD and Bi Polar Disorder. When I got out of the service I had nowhere to turn to for help so I self medicated to try and quiet the noise in my head. Multiple times I sat holding a gun in my mouth looking for a quick way to eliminate all of the pain and demons that I now lived with. Fortunately for me I had a wife that fought in the trenches of the aftermath of war with me that never gave up and saw me through. In May of 2021 I began going to Tribal Council. The first time I went I thought I was seasoned at dealing with all of the issues that myself and other Veterans face and that I would be the one helping them. Little did I know that I still was dealing with my own demons. I had just pushed them down so deep that I was no longer trying to deal with them. After my first meeting with Tribal Council it became very clear that I needed them just as much as they needed me. Tribal Council and One Tribe Foundation has changed my life. I have reconnected with other Veterans and First Responders, I have found passion again for my family and all of the hobbies that I love to do and together we support one another, support the mission and keep each other accountable. Thank you One Tribe for all that you are doing and keep up the good fight! You are changing lives every day!"
