Editor’s note- This podast is the first in a series on veterans issues in Washington and Greene counties. Check out the entire Soldiering On series at http://www.observer-reporter.com/vets.
Washington native Cpl. Christopher Morris joined the Marines in 2007. While he serving in Afghanistan, his truck was blown up by an Improvised Explosive Device. As a result of the explosion, Morris suffered traumatic brain injury and struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder.
In this compelling podcast, Morris talks about his so-far unsuccessful struggle to receive mental health care from the Department of Veterans Affairs. We also learn about how he was injured, as well as how he copes with PTSD.
This podcast was written and produced by Katie Roupe, and narrated Brad Hundt.
