When we were at Zuccotti Park recently, we interviewed Eli Wright, who served as a U.S. Army combat medic in Iraq in 2003 and 2004. Originally from Denver, he now resides in New York City.
“I hate to say it, but I honestly think that since I’ve come home from Iraq, or since I went to Iraq, the American Dream has become a nightmare,” Wright said. He worries about his infant daughter’s future, as well as the future for all veterans and many Americans.
Take a look at his video interview.

Thank you very much for your service to our country. I appreciate what you have done. My father was a traumatized combat veteran who never got help. I am glad you are speaking out. Best wishes for you and your family-beautiful daughter. God bless----
