“Most of the time, I have to just
bite my tongue and just let it be.
People just don’t understand the
way a combat mind works and
how deep a soldier’s emotions are.
It’s just like me trying to figure out
what it feels like to give birth,” he
says.
Duckworth hopes his book will
help heal the invisible wounds
from war, end the suffering of
fellow veterans, and stop the ep-
idemic of former soldiers who
commit suicide. He also hopes
the book will help civilians under-
stand the struggles which veterans
face when they come back home
and to bring awareness to their in-
ner battlefield.
From his personal account,
readers are given a window to
war through a soldier’s eyes, from
transitioning from an enlisted man
to a “war fighting, get ‘er done”
soldier, to one who has difficulty
shutting off the combat mindset

(an American-expatriate who
lives and works in France), is
known for his languorous stylis-
tic choices, and this film involves

Duckworth draws from direct
experience and gives practical
advice with empathy on how to
create constructive coping skills
for living with PTSD. He advo-
cates for better postwar health
services for veterans and em-
powers them to draw upon their
personal and spiritual strength in
times of crisis.
A former California resident,
he recently reached out to fellow
vets in Portland by helping home-
less Portlanders at the American
Legion’s Post 134 on Northeast
Alberta Street during this year’s
harsh winter storms
“The Soldier’s Story: The In-
visible Wounds from War” is both
Duckworth’s memoir of war and
the scars he carries, but also a
guide for others to find help and
learn how to cope with the long
lasting effects of military service.
The book is available for purchase
at Barnes and Noble, Broadway
Books and online at Amazon.com.
