Matt Allen is a former Army Infantryman and member of the 82nd Airborne. After joining the Army at age 19, Matt served three combat deployments - including 12 months in Iraq, and a combined 15 months in Afghanistan.
Leaving the Army after almost eight years of service, he soon realized something was off. Looking for help, and guided by a friend, Matt found the help he was searching for.
This is his story. I'll let him tell it.
