    Excerpt from   Heart to Heart Resuscitation: My Journal  by Victor Montgomery III --   Second Pathway Another warrior came to a group meeting and said: "I always prided myself on my hardheadedness: survival of the fittest.

Whatever a veteran’s belief right now, a power greater than us all can be sought, and learning to pray is where the discovery begins. It is here where life begins again for distressed combat veterans with wounded souls. Right here the suffering, tormented soul can find relief and a reason to live.
