Where Are They Now? The Warrior's of A Warrior's Faith

I'm often asked;

"What happened to all of the other folks mentioned in A Warrior's Faith?"

I do still keep in contact with many.

Tommy, the medic.
Most people have learned that his real name is Jonny Kim. After leaving Ryan at Camp Ramadi, Jonny decided that he needed to do more with his medical training. He finished his undergraduate degree, became a Tillman Scholar and applied to medical school. H Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Robert Vera  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Each of us is the product of our lifestyle, which is a series of habits or behaviors strung together that we cling to day after day. Our behaviors are the products of our beliefs. Those beliefs are products of our thoughts, which can be strongly influenced by the people, events, and environment around us. So”
Robert Vera, A Warrior's Faith: Navy SEAL Ryan Job, a Life-Changing Firefight, and the Belief That Transformed His Life

“In his book How God Changes Your Brain, neuroscientist Dr. Andrew B. Newberg documents the physical changes to the brain as a person contemplates God. Dr. Newberg conducted brain scans of people who practiced contemplative forms of focused prayer and meditation, revealing a marked decrease in parietal lobe activity. He observed that the decrease in activity “allows the mediator to feel at one with the object of contemplation: with God, the universe, peacefulness, or any other object upon which he or she focuses.”1”
Robert Vera, A Warrior's Faith: Navy SEAL Ryan Job, a Life-Changing Firefight, and the Belief That Transformed His Life

“The PTSD stress response can be triggered by powerful memories. The emotional attachment to the memories is so strong that it can cause the same chemical reaction as the actual event. My thought was that if a body could be trained into this constant state of stress, then it could be trained out of it. I came up with a plan. If Ryan’s stress trigger was the emotional charge attached to his old memories, then we would defuse those memories by creating new, more powerful ones.”
Robert Vera, A Warrior's Faith: Navy SEAL Ryan Job, a Life-Changing Firefight, and the Belief That Transformed His Life

“If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends), "Am I really a writer? Am I really an artist?" chances are you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death.”
Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

“Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.”
