After Serving, George Ackley Wants to Help Vets with PTSD

George Ackley has dedicated much of his life to helping fellow soldiers recover from PTSD.

By Christopher South

George Ackley was born May 13, 1944, in judicial chambers in Pasadena, California, the son of a Navy chaplain. His father was overseas at the time, and the local courthouse was converted to a hospital as the Second World War carried on.

Ackley, as an officer’s kid, loved to walk around the base and talk to the service members. “It was kind of neat being a military brat,” he said.
