GI Bill is a good start

I was dashing in and out of the hardware store a few months ago when I bumped into a woman I’d first met a number of years ago at a Families Honoring our Troops meeting.

Our sons were both Marine Corps combat veterans in the Iraq War. The last time we’d talked she said her son wasn’t “adapting” well to civilian life.

He’d lived at home a while, but that didn’t last because she and her husband asked their son to move out. He drank too much. He stayed up late and slept all day. His temper flared. He was rude and sullen. He wouldn’t help around the house.
