Release Trauma: Rock Ritual in Mountains to Leave Past Behind!

This powerful interview features retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant Tim Colomer, a true American hero whose story of service, sacrifice, and redemption will inspire every patriot. Gunny Colomer served with exceptional distinction as an EOD technician, risking his life daily to protect his fellow Marines, Soldiers, and Sailors from the deadly threat of improvised explosive devices.
His military career included a critical mission that few know about – the decontamination of Senator Tom Daschle's office in the U.S. Capitol during the 2001 anthrax attacks, showcasing his expertise in the most dangerous of circumstances. During his deployment to Iraq, Gunny Colomer's courage and skill preserved countless lives and limbs of our nation's warriors.
In 2006, Tim's world changed forever when he was severely wounded in an IED attack. But this Marine's fighting spirit couldn't be broken. Today, he has transformed his struggle into strength, becoming an accomplished artist while dedicating his life to meaningful causes including animal shelter work and helping his brother veterans recover from PTSD and battlefield trauma.
Tim credits much of his healing journey to his devoted wife and the transformative Boulder Crest program in Virginia. His story embodies the Marine Corps values of honor, courage, and commitment – proving that even in our darkest moments, we can find purpose and hope.
This interview captures the essence of American resilience and the brotherhood that binds our military family together. Gunny Colomer's testimony serves as a beacon of hope for any veteran struggling with invisible wounds, demonstrating that with the right support and determination, we can overcome any obstacle and continue serving our communities.
