NEVER QUIT—A determined and beautiful love story of two small-town American kids, growing up together in Central Florida, best of friends since eight years old, who never gave up on their love for each other. This undying love is what inspired Dr. Holmes to apply her astute academic research capabilities as a PhD, to navigate what seemed an impossible task, not losing her friend to the war as so many others fell, sadly after returning home. Over a period of years, through difficult trials and errors, she developed successful methodologies and strategies to mitigate and overcome the worst of the symptoms of Combat PTSD, TBIs, and Operators Syndrome. Her motto -NEVER QUIT– was exactly the same motto as her husband’s that carried him through impossible hellscapes of war and years of the world’s most difficult training in special operations.
