NANGARHAR PROVINCE – Three knocks at my office door indicated he arrived. He entered the room as if most of the world was lifted from his shoulders. He told me he'd just come from another visit at the combat stress clinic.
He sat down and explained he was ready to tell his story, and tell why he encourages Soldiers to seek help. He relaxed, settled back in his chair and said, “My name is Sgt. Kevin Garrison, and this is my story of 3rd Plt, Co D, in Afghanistan.”
