Event Serves to fight against the darkness of combat trauma and PTSD

As part of the Praevius Group corporate citizenship efforts, founder, author and combat-decorated war hero, Nate Self spoke to over 400 American patriots at the “Heal Our Heroes” event hosted by Military Ministries in Houston, Texas. 

For thousands of veterans and their families, despair has become an unwelcome, but constant companion. “Our military members fight two wars – one on the battlefield…and one in their souls after they return home”, said Praevius founder Nate Self.  

Having survived the worst stages of PTSD, Nate Self has now committed himself to helping a new generation of war vets, both by sharing his own story, and by collecting theirs. Nate gave a moving glimpse into his experience as an Army Ranger who led a group of soldiers to rescue a downed Navy Seal in the battle of Takur Ghar located high on a mountain top in Afghanistan. His story was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, on NBC’s Dateline, and written in his personal account titled Two Wars:  One Hero’s Fight on Two Fronts—Abroad and Within. 

Nate was followed by Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North–combat-decorated Marine, best-selling author, and TV host of War Stories on the Fox News Channel. Both shared powerful stories from the front, as well as their personal struggles with combat trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Both leaders inspired and challenged the audience to become a part of a national solution to redeem generations of veterans, troops and families from the tragedies caused by combat trauma and PTSD. 

Combined with the release of his book “Two Wars” and partnering with organizations like Military Ministries (www.militaryministry.org), Nate Self is using his platform as one of the most decorated war heroes to come out of the Iraq/Afghanistan War to help fellow vets get teh help they need.
