Retired U.S. Army Sergeant First Class William Mosketti faced a life-or-death situation after a suicide attempt. His journey from despair to recovery began when he discovered the veteran support organization Grey Team through a report on Fox News. Mosketti credits this pivotal moment with saving his life and restoring his hope.
In an interview with Fox News Live, Cary Reichbach, co-founder of Grey Team and a fellow Army veteran, shared Mosketti’s inspiring story. Mosketti, who served for 26 years in the U.S. Army Special Forces, experienced the long-term effects of trauma that many veterans endure. Eventually, he reached a breaking point, leading to his suicide attempt.
“He actually died and was revived by medical personnel,” Reichbach explained. After viewing the segment on Grey Team, Mosketti sought help. “It’s been monumental. It’s an amazing experience,” he stated, highlighting the positive changes in his life since reaching out for support.
Grey Team’s Unique Approach to Veteran Care
Grey Team focuses on addressing the invisible wounds of war through innovative treatments, moving beyond traditional pharmaceuticals. The organization provides various therapies, including transcranial photobiomodulation, a noninvasive procedure that uses low-power red or near-infrared light to stimulate brain function, and hyperbaric therapy.
“Our mission is to heal veterans instead of just numbing their pain,” Reichbach noted. “We offer a comprehensive 90-day program at no cost to active duty service members or veterans.” This commitment to healing has proven effective, as evidenced by Mosketti’s transformation.
Since receiving help from Grey Team, Mosketti has relocated to Florida from North Carolina and reconnected with his wife. “He is now fantastic,” Reichbach added, describing the positive changes Mosketti has experienced.

Mosketti’s recovery is a testament to the vital role organizations like Grey Team play in preventing veteran suicides and restoring purpose to those who have served.
