My name is Doug White, a veteran and retired first responder with over 30 years of service. I wrote Hiding in Plain Sight: The Truth about Trauma, Service, and The Way Forward to ignite essential conversations on the unique challenges veterans, first responders, and their families face. Through my book and the Tell This Story platform, I aim to create a space for authentic storytelling and shared hope. Each week on Tell This Story, I’ll sit down with fellow veterans, responders, and their loved ones to discuss these challenges and explore paths forward.
