Mr. Bruyer is a veteran and strongly supports other veterans and causes. He was quoted in saying, "I don't have all the answers, I certainly struggle with my demons every day. Writing was a way to speak my words the way I needed and could say them. I feel like I'm running out of time...it's stressful to want to finish all the projects I want to and be where I need to be (physically and mentally). Regardless, thank you for the opportunity to be of service". I still have a lot of learning and growing a head of me.
