This book is about what a soldier goes through while in combat in the Middle East and returning home having to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). While on the battlefield, dealing with firefights, being shot at, and having to hear the battle cries of wounded fellow soldiers all the while trying to save yourself are very traumatic experiences. Suppressing all of these horrific ordeals creates PTSD. We will bring to light the effects of PTSD and how veterans are returning home and finding it very difficult to function in civilian life. Through personal interviews with veterans, we have had several of them advise us that there is no atheist in a foxhole; you are praying to a higher power to help you through your ordeal. Some veterans returning home don't even realize they have PTSD until something happens that triggers a relapse. Something as simple as a sudden flash of light or a transformer blowing up may trigger a relapse of PTSD; and they may become very despondent or, even worse, very angry and become violent. Every case of PTSD is different. Although it may be created from the same traumatic experiences, the outcome from each veteran may be different. Most veterans try to conceal it or deal with it themselves, but the majority of them need assistance through other means when medications don't work.This book parallels true events that we as a private investigation agency have at one time or another encountered, even the unmentionable: human trafficking. Today's numbers show that we have the most slaves ever in the history of the world. There's danger everywhere, even by just taking a picture.We have the answer: read the book. You will see where to go and what to do when you're unable to talk to family or close friends concerning this issue.

This book will take you from the early days of my life as I re-live it, and you see it through the retrospective mirror of my eyes. Hopefully you will be equally amazed reading this book as I was writing it. I will delve deep into the darkest area of my experiences, from childhood to adulthood, taking you from my earliest days, growing up in New York , and then working as a New York City Transit Cop, through my experience as a New York City Detective. I will take you through the accounts on the day of September 11, 2001, where I was watching from my office window, approximately one mile away, while events unfolded in front of me. I will also take you through 9/11 - Visions from within. Where you will hear from some of my co-workers and their visions from 9/11.

50+ years of Exciting MemoriesNew life is breathed into this captivating memoir presenting the laughter and adventures of Bill Perry, full of twists, turns and thrills along the way.
