Scott DeLuzio shares his story of survival, after losing his brother (reprised)

Inspirational Journeys: Stories that Matter

In honor of memorial day, I’m re-airing an episode from back in October of last year. This week, my special guest shares the story of surviving the loss of his brother, who was killed in action while they both served in Afghanistan and overcoming grief, survivors guilt and PTSD, in order to share his compelling story with the world. He also started a podcast to share the stories of others who’ve served in the military and suffered with some, if not all, of the same struggles he went through after coming home from his tour of duty in Afghanistan. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and join the conversation. After you’ve heard this compelling story, be sure to share it with your friends and loved ones, and say a prayer for the men and women who serve your country, wherever you are, as you listen or watch this week’s episode. Scott DeLuzio is an Army veteran, having served six years with the Army National Guard, including a deployment to Afghanistan in 2010. Scott’s brother, Steven, was also deployed to Afghanistan in 2010. Unfortunately, Steven was killed in action on August 22, 2010. After returning home, Scott struggled with coping with the stresses of combat, the loss of his younger brother, and adjusting back to civilian life. In the years following Scott’s deployment, he noticed other veterans dealing with their struggles in unhealthy ways. Scott started his podcast, Drive On Podcast, to connect with current and prior service members. He interviews veterans and civilians to discuss personal triumphs, life experiences, and emotional hardships to give hope and strength to the military community. Scott lives in Surprise, Arizona, with his wife, Vicki DeLuzio, and their three children.
