Lawrence

U.S. Marine Corps

Vietnam War

Combat Veteran

I felt hopeful for the first time in forty years

When Lawrence came back from Vietnam, he had trouble adjusting to civilian life. He experienced frequent anger, and he didn't trust anyone. Life seemed out of control, and he tried to hurt himself. He went to VA and learned he had PTSD. After he began therapy, he discovered ways to manage his symptoms and enjoy his life.
