Specialist 5 Jack Schmitt

Jack Schmitt served as an artillery observer with the US Army in the Vietnam War. Jack talks about beating the cloud of PTSD that he carried with him, and we do mean it was a real cloud that he could see, the not so welcome home he received, reconnecting with friends later in life, and using the skills he learned in the army to transition into a successful civil engineering career after his service.

He is also the author of the book, Potato People, about his time in the Army.
