Hosts and PTSI Resilience Trainers John Salerno and Samantha Horwitz talk with the founders and team members of Operation Angel Wing on @A Badge of Honor TV.

Zeke Vanderpool is one of the two original co-founders of Operation Angel Wing. In 2013, he retired from 23 years of military service in Army Special Operations, including combat tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq. His desire to help his fellow service members and their families through the trauma of military combat service led him to partner with Mary Millsaps to form Operation Angel Wing, where he serves actively as a Trauma Specialist and Interventionist and continually works to improve the lives of our Service Members, Veterans, First Responders, and their families. 

Mary Millsaps is the creator and co-founder of Operation Angel Wing. As a teen and young woman, she endured an extreme and prolonged cycle of abuse. Despite her physical and emotional scars, she went on to complete a very successful career in Emergency Medicine that spanned more than twenty years. Mary has earned her Masters in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Timeline Therapy. She brings incredibly effective tools and techniques to trauma work, and continues to teach and mentor within the Public Safety Services and military communities. 

Operation Angel Wing targets the individual needs of American veterans, active military, the Public Safety Service community, and their families suffering from the devastating effects of Post-Traumatic Stress. OPAW is dedicated to aiding and assisting our Protectors, their families, and the communities they serve, one victory at time. Find out more at https://www.operationangelwing.org/

A Badge of Honor says, "We Hear You," and wants you to know you are not alone. A Badge of Honor is a non-profit partner with Carry The Load as part of their Continuum of Care program.
