Join us as Alex Briggs, the remarkable CEO of Silent Wounds and Warriors Foundation, narrates his gripping journey from civilian life to the front lines in Syria where he encountered an explosion that changed his life forever and sent him on a new mission to help other veterans that are impacted by TBI and PTSD.
