My name is SFC Paul Johnson (Ret), the dream I have is to take my fiance, Sandra and our son to Disneyland. After all she has done for me this is the one thing I want to do to show her my appreciation for what she has done. In 2003, while serving in Iraq I was wounded. I was treated at the field hospital and returned to my unit. The blast fractured bones in my lower back. Upon my return to the states I asked for help to deal with a wide range of injuries and help with my PTSD. While in the Wounded Warrior Program I met my fiance Sandra. She helped save my life in many different ways. At the time I was dealing with a heavy drinking problem and misusing my prescription pills. In 2013, I was medically discharged from the Army for PTSD, TBI, neck and back injuries and ankle and shoulder injuries. In January of 2014 I had surgery on my right shoulder and there was a complication with the surgery and I almost died on the table. They had to revive me and when I came to all I wanted was Sandra and our son. In March of 2014 they finished the operation. In December I was fully disabled at 100% by the VA and my PTSD was rated at over 70%. All I have ever wanted to do is show Sandra how much I am thankful to have her in my life. She has had to endure my ups and downs and two near death experiences in 2014. She has had to help me over come my drinking problem and find ways to deal with my anger and so many other things. With out her I would not be where I am today. She has become my angel in so many ways. It would mean the world for us to go to Disneyland as a family and help bring light to so much darkness.
