Retired Command Sgt. Maj. Tonya Oxendine, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for nine hard years before she began her path to recovery.  Her pain reached a point where, one day after leaving her desk at the Pentagon, she was considering driving off a bridge.  “I was at the brink to take my life,” she said, but then “all I could think about was my two sons and I kept thinking about them and thinking about them and I said I cannot leave a legacy of suicide.”  Oxendine turned her car around and sought help, enrolling in a treatment plan through the Wounded Warrior Project and was introduced to a virtual reality (VR) headset in 2017
