Description
As a teenager Zach Skiles joined the US military, hoping to save money for college. But then 9/11 happened and America invaded Iraq. Zach tried to avoid it, but as a marine he ended up in the invading force. His deployment was bloody and shocking, and he had panic attacks and nightmares. When Zach returned to the US, he struggled to cope with life after war. He started getting treatment, but then a horrifying shooting at his recovery centre proved another devastating event that Zach had to overcome. (Photo credit:Bennie Ranstrom.)
