One conversation can change a life.
After losing a fellow Army EOD technician to suicide, retired U.S. Army Veteran Jeff Truex knew something had to change. Along with fellow veterans, he helped create After the Long Walk, a peer-to-peer hotline dedicated to making sure no veteran has to fight alone.
In this powerful clip from The MisFitNation Podcast, Jeff shares the incredible story of how the hotline began—and how one simple Facebook post with the word "Help" led to saving a veteran’s life.
