About this episode
Navy Diver Tommy McConnell's story, as featured in this week's episode of Urban Valor, is both inspiring and heart-wrenching. Growing up in Louisiana with a passion for swimming and was inspired by his grandfather's service as a Navy Vet. Tommy's career, filled with dedication and love for his job, takes a tragic turn with the onset of neurological symptoms leading to the discovery of brain damage. The mental struggle Tommy faces after his career ends abruptly is a reminder of the personal battles that continue beyond active duty. It underscores the importance of mental health support for veterans and the resilience required to live life after the military.
