The Cloquette, Minnesota Pine Journal had an article in Wednesday's paper about how the combat veteran's larger community can play a role in helping him or her to re-integrate into society. This article is part one in a series; next week they'll have a follow-up article, Part Two of “The Long Road Home” will take a look at how soldiers are programmed to become warriors on the road to war – and the five critical challenges they face in coming home again. Future articles will address the symptoms of combat stress, the resources available to soldiers and their families, and specific guidelines regarding how the rest of the community can help out. Good stuff, by Pine Journal reporter and publisher, Wendy Johnson! Keep it coming... and let's hope this series gets picked up by bigger, national papers as well.
