Unbroken Soldiers: Bobby Barrera

Produced in partnership with Disabled American Veterans (DAV), the Unbroken Soldiers short form documentary series tells the stories of our nation's military veterans and their journeys of triumph from tragedy. Bobby Barrera is a US Marine Corp veteran, wounded six weeks into his Vietnam service. With severe burn wounds covering his body and an amputated arm, Barrera recalls his darkest moment of recovery when he asked his father to shoot him. Now, years later and with the love of his wife carrying him along, Barrera counsels other wounded veterans struggling with suicide. For more stories like this visit www.moments.org.

I first met Mr B as we called him in 1980 in highschool in Delrio tx.He turned out to be a lot more important to me years later as I was also a life member of DAV being honorable discharged early from the navy in 1988 due to disability.Thanks Mr B for helping us all and God Bless You.
