Army Vietnam Veteran Loses Fingers & Goes Blind for 6 Months 😨

This week’s Urban Valor episode features Army Vietnam veteran, Travis Mayfield. Travis served in Vietnam from 1967-1968. He was sent to the field to disarm booby traps before an enemy combatant detonated one as he was attempting to disarm it. Travis struggled with military transition back to civilian life, and things got hard, but he kept fighting, and in time, pulled himself out of the hardship! He became an entrepreneur running a gym called Next Level Fitness & Wellness Center in Irvine, CA.
If you struggle with military transition, PTSD, and/or depression, use Travis as inspiration. No matter how hard things get, you're a warrior, and you CAN and WILL beat it. Please reach out if you'd like a friend and/or support at [e-mail].
We're so glad to be capturing Vietnam stories from these incredible veterans, and will continue to bring more Vietnam interviews in the future here at Urban Valor.
Thank you for your service Travis, we really appreciate you.

"least we forget"

[@conorsmith8551]

Lest we forget . massive respect to American servicemen and women. My own great grandad served in Irish regiment in British army in First World War and Second World War . He served with gallantry, awarded medals for service and buried in a commonwealth war grave. His dad , brother and cousin served in army too.
