Tom Stratton: Iraq Vet, Business Owner, Vet Advocate

Tom Stratton is a U.S. Army veteran who served as a Cavalry Scout. He enlisted at the age of 23 and was deployed to Iraq twice. Upon returning from deployment, he faced immense personal loss, including a divorce, losing his home and possessions, and having to start his life over from scratch. In his words, being a father saved his life. He became heavily involved in veteran advocacy and serves as the Cherokee County Veterans Committee chair, working to support veterans in his local community. He found his true purpose and a path to healing when he became involved with veteran support groups, where the camaraderie and shared experience proved to be profoundly therapeutic.Connect with RealTOC:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realtocpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@realtocpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/realtocpodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@realtocWebsite: RealTOC.comConnect with Tom Stratton:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thomas.stratton.883533Nominate a veteran to be a RealTOC guest: ⁠https://bit.ly/4bIczd7⁠Find the Best Deals and Maximize Your Benefits:Veteran Auto Insurance Rates: https://bit.ly/4rCwuA6Buy a Home with $0 Down (VA Loan): https://bit.ly/4bi5pO0Compare Home Insurance Rates & Save: https://bit.ly/3PfSFyHTop Credit Cards & Perks for Veterans: https://bit.ly/4cY013PSupport Veteran-Owned:30% Off Black Rifle Coffee (Code: GET30): https://bit.ly/4sNxNx030% Off BRC Subscriptions (Code: COFFEE30): https://bit.ly/3PglBqe
