In this episode of Veteran Voices: SITREP, co-hosts Tom and Chris Faust sit down with Army veteran and poet Chris Clark (SFC Retired) to explore how creative expression can help veterans process trauma and rediscover purpose after service.

After retiring from over two decades in the Army, Chris found that transitioning to civilian life wasn’t as simple as expected. Through poetry, he discovered a powerful outlet for reflection, healing, and connection.

Join us as we talk about:

• Replacing one routine with another after the military
• How writing became Chris’s form of therapy
• The challenges and surprises of adjusting to civilian life
• Finding identity and meaning beyond the uniform

If you’re a veteran navigating life after service—or know someone who is—this conversation will remind you that your story still matters, and healing often starts with sharing it.
