The Department of Veterans Affairs says combat veterans are more likely to suffer from PTSD than civilians,

and a 2022 report by the VA found that veterans commit suicide at a rate of nearly 17 per day.

On this Veterans Day, we speak with U.S. Marine veteran Andy Manzi and Army Combat

Vet Jordan Dasher, who are working to raise awareness and money for programs

to help struggling veterans who have left the service.

I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley.

It's Saturday, November 11th, and this is an extra edition of Morning Wire.

In today's episode of Morning Wire.

In today's episode of Morning Wire, we're focusing on the Warrior Surf Foundation, an

organization founded by Manzi, which provides free surf therapy, yoga, wellness

classes, and community to veterans struggling with PTSD and other mental health

challenges. You know one thing they don't tell you whenever you get out of the military

is the community that you're going to leave behind. I don't have to do a long

joint-out research study to say that the ocean does some magical things of people in their lives.

It's completely changed my life really because now these people aren't my friends and I have so much more in common with them

than I do with my other friends back home that don't serve and

weren't in the military. Through Warrior Surf I realize everybody has a different story.

Nobody in Warrior Surf Foundation judges.

You deserve help just like everybody else.

I deserve help just like everybody else.

It keeps you humbled.

You learn a lot about yourself.
