SFC Emil Wojcik, United States Army

Sergeant First Class Emil Wojcik served with the United States Army Special Forces, 10th Mountain Group. He became a Green Beret in 2005, and from that date to 2013, he deployed more than a dozen times to the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.

Wojick had seen his share of combat as a team leader in a unit considered among the best of the best. In 2013, following the death by suicide of a team member and a near-fatal car crash, Sergeant First Class Wojick came apart.

He was charged with an act of domestic violence which he could not remember. The Army stripped him of his Special Forces tab and began the process of discharge without benefits or compensation.

Due to the intercession of USJAG, this wounded warrior received his benefits and medical retirement from the United States Army with his dignity and his due restored.
