KRYSTIAN / September 3, 2009 9:21 PMSo very interesting! This should help many men, women & their families in dealing with the awful after effects of war.
I'm sure you have helped in many areas of their lives, especially to ease the trauma they have to deal with once they come home.
Americans need to embrace the harsh reality of what war does to our men & women who risk not only theirs lives, but their minds & hearts as well.
Thank you for helping to bring some peace to these war heros.
