 Growing up, you know, my dad served in the 82nd Airborne, and he always spoke very highly of medics. So, you know, when it came time to enlist, that was what I wanted to do, being a medic. My name is Scott Hope. I'm a veteran of the United States Army. Being that I was part of their care when I got out, I thought that DAV was a natural transition where I could be part of that continuum of care, building a life for them. It's a very difficult time to be in combat regardless of what you're doing. You don't have to have a purple heart or a decoration for Valor or a missing limb to have PTSD. Through my training with the DAV, I can build them a better life. I can be part of them continue to live to the best and the fullest of their abilities regardless of what their DD 214 says. There are a lot of heroes out there that didn't get anything put on that piece of paper. Nobody's shooting at you doing this job, so it makes it pretty easy to take the time to do it right. I am a veteran and my victory is being able to be part of the continuum of care for all veterans of all generations.
