After more than a decade of fighting, returning soldiers and their families find themselves facing physical, emotional, and mental injury. Many are experiencing the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The statistics are staggering; especially when one realizes these often go undiagnosed or untreated.
