E003 - Struggle in Life Gives Things Value with Micah Fink and Heroes & Horses
He may have left the battlefield, but this Navy SEAL has never stopped fighting. Micah Fink first waged his own inner battle to adjust to civilian life after combat, then turned his sights to helping others. It is only recently that there has been an upswing of concern and recognition for our military and their families. Today we recognize the very real truth behind their torment and are now attempting to atone for decades of apathy. It seems as if every week another organization pops up, pledging its support to our veterans and their families. Many of these organizations do indeed provide a welcome respite from the struggle to assimilate into a society that can never truly understand. Weekend getaways to hunting camps or mountain climbing trips abound for the adventurous veterans or widows. Spa days and galas are offered to those in search of a less sweaty escape. Therapeutic retreats and clinics incorporate a blend of both, often adding trained mental health professionals to offer counseling, treatment, and a safe place for veterans and their families to decompress, perhaps even begin the process of healing from their trauma.
