Lance Cpl. Danielle Howell was just 10 years old when she first noticed the signs; random angry outbursts, paranoia, nightly binge drinking which led to waking up in a drunken stupor, enraged verbal attacks on family members, and violent nightmares. Before she knew what to call it, she knew her father, a retired Navy Seal, was suffering with a serious medical condition she now knows as post-traumatic stress disorder. There was no doubt in her mind that she wanted to help combat-wounded veterans. Upon graduating from high school in 2007, she applied to Westchester University of Pennsylvania and earned a bachelor’s degree in Social Work. She didn’t stop there- on May 9, 2014, she earned a master’s degree in social work from the University of South Carolina Howell graduated from recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina, in August, 2011, and felt she made the right decision when she wore her uniform with the eagle, globe and anchor on it for the first time. “I joined to have the experience as a Marine. What better way to help my clients than to be able to relate to them?” she added.
