Retired Marine Maj. Gen. James Livingston and retired Army Maj. Drew Dix are meeting with Marines at Camp Lejeune on Tuesday as part of their work in reducing the stigma about seeking help with stress-related issues.

I had the pleasure of interviewing another Medal of Honor Hero, Sammy Davis and his wife Dixie. They are also active in trying to get veterans to seek help for PTSD.

I didn't have the right audio equipment because I was planning on just filming the music for the Nam Knights Homes For Our Troops fundraiser event. I know Sammy and his wife and we were talking about the PSA he was involved with along with other Medal of Honor heroes and they had some time to sit down with me. There was no way I would turn down a chance to get Sammy on video. Just turn up the volume so you can hear him. At the end of the video you'll hear someone calling him to the stage and watch his reaction as he is so polite he didn't want to interrupt Dixie to get to the stage.
