Join host Ed Parcaut as he welcomes Marine Corps veteran Jerry Clark for an inspiring episode of Helping The Brave. Jerry shares his journey from West Texas to Vietnam, his experiences as an 0311 grunt, and how his military service shaped his life. The conversation explores the challenges veterans face when transitioning back to civilian life, the importance of finding purpose, and overcoming invisible "blind spots"—especially those born from military training.
Jerry discusses how his struggles led him to become a counselor, supporting others for over 30 years. Together, Ed and Jerry explore veteran support groups, the fight for VA benefits, PTSD stigma, and the power of community. Jerry also talks about his book, Blind Spots in Relationships, and how veterans can find practical help through his website and the Transition Plus organization.
Whether you're a veteran, someone who supports them, or just want to hear stories of courage and resilience, this episode offers wisdom, practical advice, and encouragement.
