As a Heavy Wheeled Vehicle Operator for the United States Army, William Jazwinski bravely served his county, putting his life on the line during a 15-month deployment in Iraq. He was a dedicated soldier and did his job well, but the emotional scars from his service left him suffering from PTSD.

Determined to overcome his struggles, Jazwinski had recently completed a PTSD program when he was pulled over by a local policeman. Jazwinski always carries a properly folded American flag, placed carefully on the dashboard of his truck to remind himself of his service and the service of other military and veterans.
