"In 2017, seven years after he'd completed
two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, Auburn resident and Maine
National Guard veteran Scott Morgan had hit rock bottom with his
post-traumatic stress disorder. He barely left the house. Social
gatherings were a constant source of anxiety. He couldn't drive after
the trauma of an IED explosion in a vehicle, in which he was injured and
a fellow soldier was killed right in front of him.
"That summer, Doc Goodwin, founder of the Maine Veterans Project, told Morgan about his new effort, Windy Warrior, a program that gets veterans coping with combat-related PTSD to try skydiving, free of charge. Morgan shrugged and agreed to give it a shot."
A recent Bangor Daily News article reported on the Maine Veterans Project's Windy Warrior initiative.
