Chris Buckley said he knew he wanted to serve his country from an early age and joined the Army as part of a delayed entry program while still in high school.
“I remember how proud I was to have the honor to be on the frontlines defending my country as that Tuesday I saw on TV in my high school cafeteria the collapse of the twin towers,” Buckley told the House Veterans Affairs Committee this week.
Buckley said a defining moment for him came in October 2008 when he and his best friend Sgt. Daniel Wallace were ambushed by the Taliban.“Daniel died in my arms while trying to push his brain back into his skull,” said Buckley. “I came back from Afghanistan a different man. I developed a deep sense of resentment against all Muslims.”
Once returning home, Buckley said he struggled to get PTSD treatment through the VA and developed an opioid addiction after an injury.
