Still Leading

"Former Marine Corps Sergeant, David Curry, has been to the remotest and deadliest regions of Anbar Province in Iraq. He has experienced firsthand the rigors of war, the anguish of loss, and the nightmares associated with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. These experiences have conditioned Curry to handle adversity when, long after his service, he is able to adapt to future struggles with relative ease.

Now, as a student at the University of California at Irvine, Curry faces a new challenge wholly different than what he experienced in the Marine Corps. The current fight is not against an armed combatant, but against a fragmented university administration and an apathetic student population who are often vigorously opposed to veteran’s issues. Faced with insufficient auxiliary services for veterans on campus, Curry became the veterans’ leading voice for change—a role he is accustomed to—whether on the battlefield or at the university."
