He forgets to do it if he doesn’t write it down.
“Living with a traumatic brain injury is…frustrating,” Werner said.

A Letter to Those Who Brought Me Jake
After 16 years of service in the military, in 2016, my husband was medically retired due to physical injuries, hearing loss, a TBI and PTSD. While he served in the military, he deployed overseas 4 times; was away often for multiple field missions, he trained with the National Guard for overseas missions (which involved a lot of travel to different states), and having to attend many funeral details. While serving his tours overseas, my husband fought many battles, and was forced to face death repeatedly, more than anyone should ever have too.

A Love Story of Two Warriors, Trauma, and Triumph

I get to wake up every morning, roll over and see my adoring husband, Josh, snuggled up to a cute, chubby blonde named Cabo.

Living with PTSD: 3 Warriors’ Stories of Hope & Healing
When we think of wounds, we often envision physical injuries—especially when it involves veterans.
But there is an invisible wound that affects millions of people worldwide: post-traumatic stress disorder. PTSD is a complex, debilitating mental health condition that develops after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event.
PTSD can look different in everyone. For Warriors Quinton, Joe, and Ashley, this rings true.
