Still The Monkey

After nearly 40 years of struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from the Vietnam War, Dennis Michael's life intersects with that of Andrew Taylor, a young Marine who lost both legs fighting in Iraq. For ten days inside Walter Reed's Mologne House, the men begin their cathartic journey of transforming pain into healing.

The sickest, most painful feeling in the world was looking down out of the chopper and seeing the guys still down there, still fighting. Ripped from Vietnam's womb, that pain, that sickness, was Dennis Michael's rebirth. A warrior returns home, emotionally maimed, but still alive. Dennis survived. And it is time to pay his dues. Now, after nearly forty years of struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Dennis' life intersects with that of Andrew Taylor, a young Marine amputee who has lost both legs fighting in Iraq. For ten days inside the hallowed walls of Walter Reed's Mologne House, Dennis and Andy begin their cathartic journey of transforming pain into healing. Semper Fidelis. Never leave anyone behind.
