Some Veterans served on the front lines and others provided support; none are exempt from the wounds of war. All are on a Journey to Wholeness. The struggles to become a good citizen, parent, family and community member affect all of us. Veterans are no exception. Yet, survivor\'s guilt, PTSD, suicide attempts, domestic violence and child abuse, drug and alcohol addiction, and efforts to access services and to re-establish relationships pose extraordinary challenges for Veterans.
