Specialist Scott Alan Garrett enlisted into the United States Army from August 08, 2005. He enlisted as a Wheel Vehicle Mechanic (91B) and was assigned to the 502nd MRBC following BCT. He was stationed in Hanau, Germany with the 502nd and deployed to Balad, Iraq in 2006. He completed his Active Duty in April, 2009 and received a Honorable Discharge. During his service time, SPC Garrett received the Army Commendation Medal (2), an Army Achievement Medal, an Army Good Conduct Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal w/ bronze Service Star, National Defense Service Medal, Army Service Ribbon, the Overseas Service Ribbon (2), and the Driver & Mechanic Badge.Following his service time, he battled PTSD for ten years. He struggled with falling & staying asleep at night. He suffered from mood swings and had a difficult time opening to others. He became withdrawn and isolated. He didn’t want interaction with others of any kind. He became less talkative, and his light-hearted demeanor seemed to disappear. He was being cared for by the VA and was seeing a therapist regularly to help with his PTSD management. SPC Garrett still managed to place his family first. He preferred to spend his time with those people closest to him, like his brother, Craig Cruz, his mother, Becca Day, or his three children, Gage, Bryce, & Kaylee. He still managed to keep with his youthful side by continuing to work on things and tinker, always working on his truck & his mother’s truck and he even worked as a Maintenance Supervisor for a metal fabricating company, so he was able to do what he loved for a living. More than anything, SPC Scott Garrett was a family man, and his family was the single most important thing in his life. His mother describes him as a big child and the person who would put his own emotions aside to be strong for those who needed him.SPC Scott Alan Garrett succumbed to his demons and lost the battle against PTSD on October 06, 2019. For more than ten years, Scott struggled to deal with his PTSD while always putting other people before himself. Despite the struggles he had, he always made time for his family, his children, and his friends. More than anything, that was his legacy and that is what he’s remembered for.
