Colby Park is not your traditional veteran. The 36-year-old former Army Airborne Ranger, with four young kids, isn’t what most people think of when they picture a veteran. Most conjure up images of their fathers or grandfathers wearing Vietnam and WWII commemorative hats often fully retired swapping war stories. That isn’t Colby. As time goes on, the “Norman Rockwell” image we have had of veterans is becoming less accurate and more antiquated. Colby represents a new wave of modern-day, “post 9/11” veterans with their own set of unique skills, circumstances, and challenges.
