Tommy Served with 3 PPCLI and 1 PPCLI. I served with him in both units. 
In April 1994, Tommy was driving an Iltis (Jeep) when he hit an anti-tank mine. 
 
The mine strike severed both of his legs below the knee, and blinded his left eye. 
For 29 years, Tommy has struggled with Veterans Affairs, and Blue cross to receive the services he needs to live his life. 
To this day, Tommy has to prove that his legs have not grown back, and his eye is still blind. 
We must do better. 
 
Here is his story, told in full for the first time.

#PTSD Recovery is a tough road, and it can not be travelled alone. Here is how OTR helps. 

1. Listening to the show is a form of peer support. Hearing stories from people who have been there, done that...just like you , is a POWERFUL thing. Knowing you are not alone IS healing. 

2. There are a LOT of resources out there. I find the resources, and bring them to the show.

3. Know that you are NOT alone
