You’re not alone—and your voice deserves to be heard.

Sergeant First Class Alexander Stewart’s path from a small New York community, forever changed by 9/11, to the front lines of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, is a testament to true resilience. Each deployment tested him in new ways, leaving lasting marks and invaluable lessons.

After serving in some of the world’s toughest environments, Alexander witnessed firsthand how mental wounds can be just as deep as physical ones. Moved by his experiences, he became a passionate advocate for mental wellness among veterans. As the author of "Unspoken Words," he shines a light on the struggles many find difficult to express, giving a voice to those suffering in silence.

Despite his own battle with PTSD and the stigma that often comes with seeking help, Alexander refused to let adversity define him. Losing 31 brothers and sisters-in-arms to suicide ignited his drive to speak out and support others. His efforts have already saved over 27 lives and sparked important conversations about mental health and real leadership grounded in compassion.

If you’re fighting your own battles, remember: “It’s completely okay to not be okay.” Your strength isn’t just in surviving the mission, but in reaching out when you need support. One life lost is one too many.
