AJ also served 22 years as a police officer and was terminated from his police career due to a diagnosis of PTSD. As the spouse of not only a veteran, but a police officer, she understands first- hand the difficulties public servants experience and the invisible wounds that so often are ignored due to the stigma of getting help.
