Stacy Bannerman: Homefront 911

Linda Kreter and Military Network Radio presents: Stacy Bannerman, author of Homefront 911: How Families of Veterans are Wounded by Our Wars. The effects of war on veteran families, and especially caregivers of those injured are measurable with profound implications for our nation. Combat vets with PTSD, TBI, moral injury, physical conditions, and unresolved reintegration issues are the tip of the iceberg that represents America's veteran families. Stacy Bannerman's engaging and important book, Homefront 911 forms the conversation that could span a dozen shows. Engaging IN wars takes training and preparation, re-entering society, especially after injury, becomes the nation's equivalent of a "dine and dash". We can do more -- and shining the light and talking with one another is a strong first step. Tosombra Kimes joins Linda today.
