Testimonials
Being part of Gunny's journey
Loved by our community
Dr Murphy and Jon Kolb helped pull me out of a very dark place. 25 years of being a state trooper along with multiple military deployments took a toll on my mental health. I am a board member of Gunny’s Ridge to help others that may be struggling.

Being part of Gunny’s Ridge has given me a continued purpose working with a veteran organization that truly cares and want to make a difference in the lives we serve. As a Marine Corps veteran, this is a meaningful way to give back to the communities I grew up in.
Chris Phillips
After 13 years in the Marine Corps, with 8 of them in Special Operations, I fell into a deep identity crisis and depression after my transition out of the military. Even with meticulous planning and preparation, I was not prepared for the mental and psychological stress post-service. Gunny’s Ridge and My360Tribe worked together to provide a medically-trained service dog (Odin) for me. This dog, quite literally, saved my life. You will not find a better organizations to assist and guide you throughout your transition journey. Not only are they skilled professionals, but they have kind and empathetic souls who truly want veterans to succeed in civilian life.
