Letter of Endorsement
20 December2013
To: The Elk Institute for Psychological Health and Performance
I am writing this to provide my deepest personal appreciation for Dr. Carrie Elk and The Elk Institute for Psychological Health and Performance. I have been following Dr. Elk’s work for over a year and seen firsthand her methods in treating our Nation’s Veterans.
I was injured in Baghdad, Iraq in February 2007 when an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) struck my vehicle. I was thrown from the vehicle and suffered 85% total body surface burns, loss of both hands due to the burns, and limited vision. The blast killed my entire crew consisting of my driver CPL Lorne Henry Jr., my gunner SGT Richard Soukenka, and my medic SGT Jonathan Cadavero. It has been a long recovery to deal with the injuries sustained as well as the loss of my Battle Buddies and Friends.
I have not sought out professional help to deal with my injury and loss however Dr. Elk has helped me deal with it through our personal discussions. I highly recommend her to any Veteran who is having trouble dealing with their experiences. Dr. Carrie Elk is a true professional with a passion for helping others.
I would like to personally Thank Dr. Carrie Elk and The Elk Institute for Psychological Health and Performance for the help I received as well as those I personally know. I hope more of our Nation’s Veterans would reach out for help so they too can move forward in life.
Kind Regards,
