In this episode of Rising Valor: Veteran Stories, I sit down with Master Sergeant Tory Elrich of the Ohio Army National Guard for an honest conversation about military service, leadership, identity, and the battles many veterans face that others never see.

Sully opens up about life after the Army, loss, ongoing struggles with depression, and some of the battles that continue long after service ends.
