This is episode 7 of Lost in the Midlands. We interview Cpl Steven Diaz about his work with the Palmetto Chapter of Folds of Honor. Of the one million-plus dependents adversely affected by deployments, nearly 9 out of 10 do not qualify for federal scholarship assistance. Since 2007, Folds of Honor has carried forth this singular, noble mission. To close the gap, providing educational support to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members. Steven discusses the Folds scholarship program, the spike in mental illness among veterans and the organizations, locally, that focus on mental health, transition and resiliency. This is Marine Cpl Steven Diaz’s story; we hope you enjoy watching.
