Traumatized: The Story of a Veteran



     The Detailed Events of the War in Iraq was shocking enough without hearing the Trauma and Pain the veteran, named Blake Miller. He, who had survived the dangers and threats of Iraq was facing the most challenging thing of all, Post War Trauma. He was a man who had became the poster portrait of the Iraq War and Beyond what people could see in the picture he had more challenges to overcome than just escaping the darkness of war.
     A Photographer followed him around his daily activities and life after the war. To date Blake Miller had been divorced by his beileved love of his life and left alone to suffer in his Trauma. He had talked of Suicide not only after coming home but before. His very captain had discovered his Suicidial tendencies and caught him right before the moment of actually killing himself. The Photographer, sensing he was Suicidal took him to a Post Trauma Clinic for help. There Images can be seen of him talking to a variety of Physicians.
     Later after he begins to grow closer to others he begins to notice some things. Miller has began making friends in a Biker Crew, men who wear similar uniforms and avidly ride on Harley Motorcycles. He can only describe it as a Brotherhood, like that of the Army. He sees that his New Friends can't know that he has changed. He notices that they had just met him and therefore they can't sense the Mutation of his emotions, the metamorphosis that his very soul has gone through. It appears in the very way he talks, in my own opinion that he wants to have someone who knew him before to remind him what he was, how he behaved.
    Blake is only just picking back up the fallen peices of his life. Someone can only hope that he can, and pray that his story can be the worst to come, and not the best.
