Summary

On this podcast I sit down with the Neysa Holmes-wife of Erick Holmes. Erick selflessly served as a green beret, including 5 combat rotations to war. He suffers from diagnosed and admitted PTS and TBI. Throughout his journey he’s pleaded for help and was repeatedly denied from a broken Veteran Affairs and Justice system. We discuss this journey from a wife’s perspective and the challenges that brought her to step up and fight against the lack of process, empathy, and medical treatment available to our most vulnerable and deserving citizens-our combat veterans. Follow Neysa Holmes and check out her site to support her journey against a broken system that has abandoned her husband.
