Hosts and PTSI Resilience Trainers John Salerno and Samantha Horwitz talk with Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.), Special Forces Green Beret, Physician, and Gubernatorial Candidate for Texas "Doc" Pete Chambers on @A Badge of Honor TV.Doc Pete’s story is one of service, sacrifice, and unwavering conviction. From the battlefield to the border, he’s answered the call to protect others. Now, he’s stepping up to lead Texas with courage and principle.Dr. Pete Chambers is a decorated U.S. Army veteran whose remarkable 39-year military career includes service in the Active Duty, Reserves and the National Guard. He began his service as an enlisted infantryman and became a Senior Green Beret Officer and Special Operations Flight Surgeon. He was honored to serve Texans in the Texas Army National Guard (TXARNG) during his last eight years in uniform. Doc is a combat wounded, Purple Heart recipient and has also been awarded numerous awards including the Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, and Combat Medical Badge.Doc began serving Texans in 1998 as a Resident Physician in Primary Care at Port Arthur, Texas. He entered back into Active-Duty service after 9/11. He returned to Texas in 2015 to serve as a Green Beret and then finally as a Task Force Surgeon assigned to Operation Lone Star (OLS). He entered the National Spotlight after he stood up to the unlawful orders imposed upon 6000 Texas Guardsmen by the DoD and the Texas Military Department. In 2022, Doc Pete again stepped into the national spotlight when Senator Ron Johnson named him as one of four DoD whistleblowers who exposed the dangers of the unlawfully mandated vaccine, going on to testify as a fact witness in the landmark Navy SEALs v. DoD case. Doc Pete’s courage and leadership under pressure helped reaffirm and protect the religious exemption rights of all U.S. servicemen. That action resulted in his being ostracized by the Texas Military Department and the loss of his position as the OLS Task Force Surgeon.Following his untimely retirement from the Texas Army National Guard, Doc Pete founded and currently serves as President of the Remnant Ministry TX, an association of ministries that specializes in disaster relief and counter human trafficking. Of most recent note, the Remnant Ministry has been involved in Operations in Western North Carolina post Hurricane Helene, the fires in North Texas and the flooding along the Guadalupe corridor.Doc Pete is the quintessential Warrior Diplomat. He is running for Governor in The Great State of Texas to bring a ‘servant’s heart’ ethos to Texan leadership. He is a champion of truth, transparency, and bold action to restore Texas as a stronghold of liberty. To quote Doc Pete, when asked his response to why he is running for the position of Senior Public Servant in Texas (Governor), his response; “It is the natural progression of a Godly man to see injustice and take a stand.” Find out more at https://docpetechambers.org/A Badge of Honor offers workshops to first responders across the nation, working with mental health liasons and critical incident management teams for Post Traumatic Stress Injury Recovery, wellness and resilience.

Hosts and PTSI Resilience Trainers John Salerno and Samantha Horwitz discuss healing your brain from trauma with the creator of BrainTap, Dr. John King on @A Badge of Honor TV.Dr. John A. King is an author, poet, long-time activist and founder of the Give Them a Voice Foundation in Texas, which he launched in 2015 to provide advocacy, support, resources and rescue for those who have been sexually abused or trafficked, and support for those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Dr. King understands what the victims experienced.At 3pm. On a Thursday. In 2008. Dr. King experienced total recall of over a decade of sexual abuse by his parents and their friends that he suppressed…and the walls came tumbling down.ALL GONE. Marriage. Career. Health.He sought help from a therapist, who burst out crying and said she couldn’t cope with what they had done to me, it was the worst story she had heard in 30 years of counseling, and I thought…WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT.So he did what my old boxing coach taught me. He tucked in his chin and threw punches, refused to quit. John wasn’t going to die broken because of what someone else did to him.The result, a book of poetry anonymously called No Working Title – a life in progress. Out of his journey grew the Give The A Voice Foundation. Our aims are Advocacy, Resourcing and Rescue to those that have been abused and trafficked and those that suffer from Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Along the way, in response to every person met who said, “Why are you not MORE crazy,” John wrote #dealwithit: Living Well with PTSD. It is a summary of the lessons I learned and the principles.
