You can see it in their eyes, and there reactions from their friends. We can get a candid idea of what they are going through. When you can help them talk about what is bothering them does help. The anguish of war is terrible,they have seen things we have not, and would like to tell you only they have been told not to. Losing a friend is a sad thing especially if it is to the enemy.We have to be an arm to lean on to assist them with their return from wherever they have been.

From experience I live and I am serving in the army now. The soldiers need to communicate with friends and family. I know some or a lot of soldiers Verdi talk about situations that occurred in the land of boasted Antrp. Is proud of it. We should leave the area in speaking. What worries soldier military orders not to speak after returning home. Are the children you love to take this soldier as normal at home. See what this soldier
Arwd in a terrible and frightening battle. Is born again, each time going to perform a task. All the soldiers think so. I think going to church or mosque or synagogue for worship is the reward of the solution. I think the main impetus behind this is to honor those soldiers that makes them feel proud .
Malk-F material situation to them. Then we must live in a new environment while providing them with adequate housing. Or any function of black-which can live in dignity. Magnify this course in life. We have a leadership role in this important subject. To visit the soldiers demobilized Of the Service or the injured or disabled. This raises the morale.

Thank you Will Wilson for giving us a vivid picture of what is needed. The information you gave on what is required for the returning service members and their families, I agree that there is a lot of talk about service members not getting the help they need, but we need to think of this from their point of view. Maybe, they don’t think they need help or just maybe, they feel justified in the way they feel. I think we as mental health learners need to work hard at getting our degree in order to assist in giving the help that they need. I am getting a certificate in mental health but, I have 28 years of experience working with young adults with mental illness, and with disbilities. I would never want to ask a service member what happened there because it could cause a regression back to the war, which they should not forget but, only to put it in perpective.

Thank you for puting this all together. As a Coast Guard wife, I know our situation is a bit different, our members come and go ever couple months, but the reentry issues are about that same. This is why I am getting my Masters. I want to help the families adjust and learn how to preserve the marriage and family relationships. Again thank you for all your work!
