This episode of the VET S.O.S. Military Transition Resources Show brings a powerful conversation with James Collins, Army veteran and founder of Heroes in the Sky.

After serving 27 months in Iraq, James faced deep struggles with PTSD, transition, and suicidal ideation. A single encounter saved his life—and inspired him to dedicate himself to honoring fallen warriors and supporting families through Heroes in the Sky. The organization builds awareness with memorial battle vests, ceremonies, and the Deterrence Through Truth series, which gives families a voice and helps break the silence surrounding suicide.

Hosts Shawn Welsh and Keith Cassant highlight James’s journey from despair to advocacy, emphasizing how veterans and families can find hope, healing, and connection through shared stories and dedicated support.

The VET S.O.S. Network exists to ensure veterans, service members, and military families don’t drown in the sea of transition—grab the lifeline with us today.
