What Price Valor

What Price Valor... First it's the thrill of the hunt. The take-down of a violent criminal. Then the accolades and awards. The Medal Of Valor, all five of them earned. The high fives the man-hugs, the drinking and telling the stories over and over. Then what? Then that creeping, insidious monster PTSD works its way into your psyche and sets up shop in your head...and more importantly, in your soul. What happens to fine men and women who, through the circumstances they are thrown into, become instant heros. Some weather the storm. Some learn to swim in the situation. Others spiral into a dark place where recovery is most difficult, if not impossible
