I found a sense ofpride knowing I was supporting our troops overseas. However, it wasn’t until Ibegan to accept military contracts in the middle-east that really opened myeyes to what our soldiers have to go through when in combat. One of thecamps I lived in was right in the middle of a former battlefield. I ate, workedwith, and used the same latrine as the soldiers. It was at this moment in mylife I felt a great deal of respect and compassion for the sacrifice they make. Idon’t pretend to know what they actually go through, but I do have a glimpseinto their world and that helps me to connect with them. In addition, I thinkmost people don’t realize that a soldier’s family also faces similar trauma andemotional stress as well.During my time in Iraq I was a Freedom of Information Act analyst. One of thehardest things I had to do was analyze all the field reports and incidents oursoldiers faced while captured and/or in combat. I still remember some of thosestories…..I will never forget.My desire is to be able to help acclimate soldiers back into civilian and familylife, and help families of soldiers to cope with this transition with training themhow to assist in his or her transition.
