Episode 21: From Cav Scout to Cop: Sgt. Lewis on Service, Struggles & Mental Health
In this episode of 8158: Stories of Sacrifice, we sit down with Sergeant Lewis—better known on TikTok as @Ty_Nation. From his years in the 82nd Airborne Division and deployment to Mosul, Iraq, to life as a small-town police sergeant, Sgt. Lewis shares an unfiltered look at the highs and lows of service.
He opens up about growing up with a troubled father, his unlikely path into law enforcement, the challenges of repeat offenders and juvenile crime, and an officer-involved shooting that reshaped his view on mental health. Sgt. Lewis also shares his personal journey with panic attacks and therapy, reminding us that seeking help is a sign of strength—not weakness.
