"For the first time, I forgot about my pain and smiled," said Army veteran and VA employee Gary Ruc when recalling his first virtual reality (VR) experience. Ruc took the stage for a deeply inspiring testimonial during the 2024 VA Immersive Summit, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd. Ruc deployed to Iraq on two separate occasions. On his final deployment, he was injured in combat twice and earned two Purple Hearts for his bravery and service.
