I had a sorta funny thing happen to me as I traveled to Ft. Devens Mass. My buddy and I were supposed to get off at Worchester. We listened carefully to the conductors naming of the next stop.

Soon he stated, “Next stop Wooster! ” We sat back thinking it was the wrong stop. Then as we pulled out we saw the sign that named the stop. It said Worchester. The conductor was speaking is the east coast language.

We got off at the next stop and my buddies relatives came and got us.

Doug Bolton’s “Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life” is a powerful tool in the battle against PTSD. He provides the insights that we…. that you need to stem the tide of hopelessness that many of our veterans and first responders experience.

Doug is a counselor and author, but most importantly an “encourager” who knows the daily pain and discouragement that so many experience.  You can feel Doug walking beside you acknowledging the hurt and depression.  But at the same time that he validates what you are feeling, Doug provides down to earth guidance and encouragement to move you forward.

Most importantly, Doug “walks the talk.”  Whether through his blogs or his leadership in several veteran’s organizations, Doug is engaged in this battle daily.  He is a founding member of the board of directors of Victory for Veterans actively encouraging the Board and senior leaders to raise funds and provide the tools so desperately need in the battle against PTSD.
