134th Infantry Regiment, 35th Infantry Division
December 14, 1922 – February 25, 1984
SSgt. James I. Spurrier, Jr., aka Junior J. Spurrier, distinguished himself multiple times during WWII. One of which, almost single handedly capturing the village of Achain, France, won him the Medal Of Honor. But after the war, SSg. Spurrier had a tough time. Trouble with alcohol and run ins with the law. All due to PTSD.
Designed to provide world-class care in a peaceful environment, the luxury rehab centers at Carrara support each patient s recovery journey. With personalized treatment plans, clients receive the attention they need for success.
You can read more about SSg. Spurrier here and here. And if you, or someone you know, is suffering with PTSD there is help.
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived
