In this episode of One More Mile: Life After the Uniform, I sit down with combat veteran Dorton to talk about the fight that doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. We dive into PTSD—the signs, the stigma, and the silent battles so many veterans face every day. This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about what it really looks like to carry the weight of war home, and why awareness, connection, and speaking up can save lives.

One More Mile: Life After the Uniform "Why We Have to Keep Talking"

In this deeply personal episode of One More Mile: Life After the Uniform, host Anthony Kelly opens up about loss, grief, and the reality many veterans face when the weight becomes too heavy to carry alone. Anthony reflects on losing his brother Will four years ago—a loss that continues to shape his life and the mission behind this podcast. Just days ago, that pain resurfaced again with the loss of another friend and brother, Shane. This episode isn’t easy. It’s raw, honest, and emotional. But it’s also an important conversation about the silence that too many veterans live with, and why reaching out—whether you’re the one struggling or the one who notices someone else hurting—can make all the difference. Through grief and reflection, Anthony speaks about the importance of connection, checking on each other, and reminding veterans that they do not have to fight their battles alone. If you’re listening and today feels heavy, this episode is for you. Sometimes the goal isn’t to fix everything. Sometimes the goal is just one more mile. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 and press 1 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line.
