Memorial Day Series #3: The Trauma of War | Faith and PTSD | Veterans Unite in Daytona

As an eight-year U.S. Army veteran serving two years in Iraq, Ben Peterson experienced the trauma of war and dealt with PTSD in a way that most Americans will never experience. The prospect of coming home left him feeling extraordinarily vulnerable. Listen as Ben shares how his faith in God helped him get through the most difficult times, and how he is now on a mission to honor the Vietnam veterans that protected his honor when he returned home.
Upon his arrival back in the states, Peterson and his comrades were personally welcomed home by a squad of Vietnam veterans. That day, Peterson not only lunged into the loving arms of his family, he cherished the embrace of an earlier generation who also knew war’s brutality. Considering Vietnam vets were largely spurned when they returned home, their show of honor and compassion left an indelible mark on Peterson as he transitioned into “normal” life. Ben is the visionary behind Heroes Honor Festival happening May 27-28 at the Daytona International Speedway. The event is a calling to give Vietnam veterans the long overdue celebration they deserve and need.
