Jason moon is a folk/rock musician and songwriter, an army veteran, and an advocate for veterans issues. After returning from iraq in 2004, jason began his struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd), almost losing his life to the disease in 2008. His album, trying to find my way home, portrays his struggle to reclaim himself after returning from war. His music often gets through to veterans who suffer from ptsd when other methods have failed. He travels the country to inform both civilians and veterans of ptsd and to raise money for veterans’ charities.
