MILITARY
Dave Roever's work with the military is not born out of schools of higher education, nor reading books about other people’s experiences, but out of the tragedy of his own experiences. Having been injured in Vietnam, while serving with the US Navy's Brown Water Black Beret as a forward gunner, Dave was burned by a phosphorous grenade. Nearly half of his skin was blown off leaving his face disfigured and his body mutilated.
