City:  Pickens

Brain Injury:  My injury came from percussion from multiple grenades, IED’s, firing of a .50 cal all contributed.  The final incident was when the enemy was infiltrating our camp.  A mortar round blew me off my gunner truck leaving me unconscious.  Marines came in and saved my life.

Explanation of Mask: Camo-forever heart and mind soldier/Green-envious of those whose brains think “normally”/Orange-love to laugh and joke even if at times it’s to cover hurt/Red- I am passionate about who I have and what I’ve done in life.  Aggression that has been uncontrollable and misunderstood. With classes, therapy, and support I can now control and understand it.
