COLUMBUS, Ohio - A motorcycle was one Central Ohio combat veteran's method of coping with his post-war stress.
Someone stole the bike and a community is now rallying around him.
Westerville-area resident James Martin served two overseas tours of duty with the U.S. Army. He was deployed to Iraq from 2009-2010 and to Afghanistan from 2011-2012.
He says his counselor suggested trying something new to cope with post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD.
"I figured I'd get a bike and see how that went, and it helped a lot," he said. "Being out on the road with the wind in your face, you can clear your mind. I thought a lot clearer."
Martin says he bought a 2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide this past April.
"It was denim black, old-school look. I love the old school bikes and this did it," he said.
