Veteran comedian offers healing humour for wounded warriors
In its third year, the Wounded Warriors Weekend Fundraiser in North Battleford brought together veterans, their loved ones and supporters to one space.
At the Don Ross Community Centre on Nov. 5, guests including country music star George Canyon and veteran turned comedian Bobby Henline entertained the packed house.
Henline suffers from PTSD and nearly 40 per cent of his body is covered with third degree burns. During a tour in Iraq, the armoured vehicle he was travelling in blew up and he was the sole survivor out of four other soldiers. He uses his experiences to help others and in his appearance in North Battleford, told his story of overcoming obstacles mixed with his sense of humour.
Henline poked a lot of fun at his appearance during his performance.
