By David Vergun Army News Service
ATLANTA, April 20, 2017 — Retired Army Staff Sgt. Ryan M. Pitts has faced some daunting challenges in life.
In 2008, he was wounded in Afghanistan. He would later receive the Medal of Honor for the valor he displayed that day. The next challenge for him, he said, was the recovery process and transitioning, the latter a challenge faced by thousands of soldiers every year who must adapt to civilian life.
Pitts spoke about those challenges April 10 at a gathering of 50 Atlanta area corporate and civic leaders and 25 senior Army leaders during the Atlanta CEO Symposium at the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation.
