WASHINGTON, D.C. (October 4, 2023) – On the latest episode of Tennessee Talks, Shawn Ryan, former Navy SEAL and CIA contractor joins Rep. Tim Burchett (TN-02) to discuss what stuck with him most from his time being a SEAL, how he helps veterans transition back into civilian life, and his dive into mental health research.
“Shawn served our country in the armed forces and is now a resident of the great state of Tennessee,” said Rep. Burchett. "We both share a passion for improving mental health for veterans, and Shawn has done so much to help veterans transition back into civilian life. I have a great amount of respect for Shawn for his service and his work helping our veterans every day."
