In this episode, we hear from General Donald C. Bolduc, a retired United States Army officer who led one of the first groups in Afghanistan after the tragic 9/11 attacks. After 33 years of active duty service, having suffered a helicopter crash and a 2000-pound bomb blast, he opens up about the post-traumatic stress (PTS) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) he later encountered. We will also hear his wife, Sharon, speak about the challenges she faced as a caretaker. Today, General Bolduc's mission is to advocate for veterans and their families, the stigmas of PTS, TBI, and mental health which he will share with us.
