Summary

John Henry is a former peacetime Marine whose father was a Marine, Korean War Veteran, and Air Force reconnaissance photographer in Vietnam.

John authored and published the book Transitioning Veterans: How We Get In Our Own Way... And What To Do About It! The book is based on his personal experiences with transitioning, “at risk” Veterans, their Families and his son Danny, a Purple Heart Recipient and Combat Veteran of two deployments to Afghanistan with the Army 10th Mountain Division. He was killed in an excessive speed-related motorcycle accident after completing his military service.

In his most recent book titled Be the Dawn in the Darkness, John builds a case for how trauma informs and provisions us to live a better life. This is a story of personal transformation that unfolds from childhood, through his teenage years, the military and throughout his adult life. Ultimately, it is about finding joy and fulfillment in the realization that we deserve to live a fulfilling life, and that we each deserve to be happy.
