In
Line of Departure, COL David Maxwell writes about the devastating long term effects of
Traumatic Brain Injuries. He also introduces us to Major Darren Baldwin, a
Special Forces soldier who was hit by IEDs twice in 9 days. Over time, his body began to falter and tragically, he was misdiagnosed with other diseases. He was experiencing the
symptoms of TBI.
This
video should be required viewing for all Service members and Veterans who may have experienced a concussive blast while serving in the Global War on Terror in
Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Fortunately, Major Baldwin has one heck of a battle buddy in his wife,
Bianca Baldwin. Major Baldwin represents the grit and determination of our warriors. He is a true
American hero. If anyone wonders what the families of wounded warriors endure, look no further than Mrs. Baldwin. Mrs. Baldwin is a pillar of strength and the quintessential example of the
military spouse.
