Travis Mills may be one of the most inspirational young people in our country—but he likely won’t care for that characterization.  

That’s because, despite how extraordinary this man has been in the face of struggle, he prefers shining a light on other veterans and their families. He prefers leading others to healing. He’s proved it for years.
