US Veteran Paul has been selected to join the Warriors on the Way pilgrimage this fall. In this episode Paul shares his experience serving in the US military and what he hopes to gain - or heal - by walking the Camino de Santiago with his fellow former comrades-in arms.

For Paul and other veterans, failure is not an option.

With a staggering success rate in reducing PTSD in veterans, Warriors on the Way is bringing peace and healing to those who have served.
