Stepping “Out” Can Satisfy Mental Abnormalities
I’m Ron Tebo—a disabled Army veteran who proudly served my country, not on the battlefield, but with the same dedication and sacrifice.
I encourage you to read this article more than once.
Like many who’ve worn the uniform, my battles didn’t end when my service did. PTSD became an invisible enemy, one that tried to keep me locked in isolation and fear. But through the camaraderie of fellow veterans and unshakable mental toughness, I found a way to fight back. That fight led me to create StepOutVeterans.com, a space where veterans can discover hope, share their stories, and—most importantly—step out from the shadows of PTSD.
This blog is my mission, written from my heart to yours. If you’re a veteran struggling or need a place to connect, you’re welcome here. Visit, comment, and let’s take that step forward—together.
Stepping “Out” can satisfy mental abnormalities
PTSD is a silent battlefield many of us know intimately, but it doesn’t have to be a solitary one. With the strength forged by my fellow veterans and a growing resilience, I’ve found a path to peace, and I’m sharing that path at www.StepOutVeterans.com. This blog is my personal testament, and its name, “Step Out Veterans,” is a call to action—an invitation for us all to explore the world beyond the confines of our internal struggles. Come in, explore, and you are welcome to share your voice.
Step out to embrace life
The name “Step Out Veterans” embodies my core belief—that we can and should “step out” of the isolating grip of PTSD to embrace life. This blog is my voice, and I invite you, fellow veterans, to join the conversation, share your stories, and explore new horizons with us.
Few bonds run deeper than those forged in service, where shared sacrifice creates an unspoken promise to stand by one another long after the uniform is retired.
As a fellow veteran, I’m embarking on a trip to Puerto Rico to reconnect with a brother-in-arms, but this visit is more than personal—it’s a call to action. Along the way, I’ll be reaching out to other veterans, because if there’s one truth we understand, it’s that our strength lies in solidarity. Too often, the scars of service remain invisible, with PTSD claiming lives in silence. That’s why I’m dedicating my time and resources to amplify this critical conversation, rallying our community to recognize, support, and advocate for those still fighting battles within. After all, we’re not just a network—we’re a family. And families take care of their own.
I encourage you to join the “step out” campaign and meet me when I arrive. We can talk, and hopefully, I will make a new friend while in Puerto Rico.
