During his service in the British Army, Capt. Brian Calder pulled numerous tours of duty as an explosive ordnance demolition specialist in Northern Ireland and the Middle East.
For years, Scottish-born Calder kept the tragedies he witnessed during those deployments close to his chest, steadily managing his innermost emotions.
âI was always able to control myself,â said Calder.
But in October 2018, Calderâs son, who just two weeks earlier had received his masterâs degree in criminal forensic psychology, died in a tragic accident.
âIt broke me, completely. It 100 percent broke me,â said Calder. âI was a broken man.â
Calder, a 23-year veteran, tried to put on a brave face for family and friends, but the loss of his son was too much for him to bear.
