Veterans and Life After War

Our group is studying veterans and the struggles they have after war. Many veterans come home to nothing and struggle getting the benefits they are entitled to when they join the army. Lots of veterans have health problems such as PTSD or long term injuries.  They deserve health care and can’t get access to it. We are working with organizations such as the VA Health Care Center, which helps veterans get access to these benefits, and talking to veterans about their struggles in coming home from war.
