Thankful for all the Tennessee Professional Fire Fighters Association has done to get the James ‘Dustin’ Samples Act here!! Successful day in Nashville today as the bill was unanimously voted in favor to move forward. It was an honor to speak before the committees and to stand alongside firefighters from across Tennessee as we bring PTSD awareness and support to the spotlight.

More work to come, but today we celebrate a success. It’s time to protect those who protect us.
