What I've heard many times is a veteran felt so purposeful in their time in the military... And when they came home and took that uniform off, all of that has been stripped away. That's a major transition from - I hear this many times - I feel safer in combat than I do walking the streets of my hometown, because no one here has my six.
I showed up here not doing well. I came from being homeless... The guys that are helping you in this program are veterans themselves and victims of terrible traumas at war, substance abuse issues, and they've been through this program and they've graduated and they came back and wanted to help others.
To be able to help the vets that were in the position that I was in, where they feel like there's no hope and they just want to give up, to be able to be there and show them.
