Active-duty soldiers and veterans struggling to live up to the 'hero' persona are coming forward to urge others to seek the help they need.

Adam Moore , a veteran of the Afghanistan war, says he contemplated suicide.

For some soldiers, the struggle comes only after they hang up the uniform.

Jason Trenholm , like Moore , served with the Lord Strathcona’s Horse ( Royal Canadians ) armoured unit.

Despite the hardships, pain and suffering, Trenholm and the others have a strong message for any soldier, veteran or civilian struggling to see the light.

“Have faith and be grateful. Even though you’re struggling, there is hope and it will get better,” he said.

If you or someone you know is in crisis and needs help, resources are available.
