For Many Veterans, The Real Battle Begins When The Shooting Stops

In my travels in support of the Hiring Our Heroes program, I’ve had the privilege of meeting with many veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some continue to serve in uniform; others have successfully transitioned back to civilian life, while others are still struggling to complete that move. Some of latter have a larger leap to make than others. I’ve met some of them – recovering warriors who have lost limbs, suffered spinal cord wounds and/or traumatic brain injuries.
