American Airman: A Memoir of a Wounded Veteran

American Airman is a story of vulnerability, resilience, and hope. No veteran returns home the same as when they first enlisted. More often than not, the scars and wounds go unseen, and the battle doesn’t end. According to VA statistics, every day, twenty-three veterans take their own lives.

This story of one airman bears witness to the men and women who, in fighting for our rights and freedoms, make unimaginable sacrifices and then must search for that elusive “new normal” after sacrifice becomes reality. American Airman grapples with several issues regularly covered in the media, including mental health, veteran health care, and a recovering veteran's family life.
