US Army Sergeant First Class (Retired) Victor Medina, MRC, CRC is a Purple Heart Recipient and a National Traumatic Brain Injury Advocate. In June 2009, while serving his third tour in Iraq, Victor was wounded when an explosive-formed projectile impacted his vehicle.

During this time, he noticed gaps and challenges in the identification, diagnosis and treatment of TBI. While receiving medical care he developed a blog (www.tbiwarriors.blogspot.com) describing his healing journey, a project that subsequently was featured by the Department of Defense and became a blog contributor for the Military Health System. In 2014, SFC (Ret.) became a certified rehabilitation counselor and, along with his wife, has worked actively with military and legislative leaders to improve the identification, diagnosis and treatment of TBI. SFC (Ret.) is a public speaker and serves as advisor to organizations advocating for veterans and their families.
