“More than any other civilian, Shauna "gets it," and those she works with see both her willingness to listen and her competency to help them make meaningful changes in their lives. Because she listens, she has been able to see what many clinicians have missed when working with veterans. In essence, her continued work and writing will fundamentally change the way we work with veterans.”
— Mike Ergo, director, North Bay Vet Center, USMC Iraq War combat veteran
“In over 19 years as an infantry Marine, I have never met someone like Shauna "Doc" Springer. She was able to empathize with me, become a part of the pack, and translate my inner thoughts into constructive interactions. I think of her as one of the corpsmen embedded into my platoon.”
— 1st Sergeant Keola Lee, USMC (active duty)
“Doc Springer is one of us...she understands a warrior's worth beyond war. She realizes our value in society and can articulate that value to the rest of the world and to us. This shows us that we have purpose. She is a key member of my tribe and I know she's always got our six!”
— David Bachmann (combat USMC veteran)
