About John
Retired Vietnam Veteran & Veteran Support Author
“
This is a wondeful book which rolls straight out of experiential living. John O. Branch does not mince words when telling his story, nor does he overuse them.

The story of
John O. Branch
A Vietnam veteran who learned after a mismanaged healthcare experience at the VA hospital in Portland, Oregon that overcoming PTSD takes more than medication and band-aid therapy.
Suffering from a temporary state of delirium brought on by inappropriate drug therapy, John ran away from the VA hospital, and was shot in the chest by police in front of his home in an upper-middle-class neighborhood in Dundee Oregon. The 45-caliber hollow point bullet did not kill John, but rather started him on a journey to healing, happiness, and helping others.
