Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is probably one of the coolest things I've ever
heard of. This man named Scott Harrison. He's a marine.
He had struggled with PTSD. Well, he lives in Colorado,
and Scott remembered when he was struggling with PTSD that
his sister had given him this music box that helped
kind of calm him down. So Scott decided what he
(00:21):
would do is buy a carousel. A carousel sorry. So
in nineteen eighty six he bought this carousel. He spent
twenty six years fixing it up, carving and installing brand
new animals on it, and now he's sharing it with
the community. It's called the Carousel of Happiness. And if
you're ever in Nederland, Colorado, you can see it there.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
What a neat story. Post traumatic stress disorder if you've
never heard that term, but it's a real thing. And
that's just such a neat thing he's doing, and that's
why it makes our smile. File
