Nothing I say could truly prepare you. But just know this. Every time I've had to take a life, it was the only option. I did what I had to do and it saved the lives of civilians or the lives of my team.

Deacon

Chris: Volunteering with you, helping these women. I've been able to help people put their lives back together. It feels good.
