Bill was a soldier in Iraq for 18 months. During his time there, he and his fellow soldiers were in danger almost constantly. They saw terrible things—things that no person should have to see. When Bill’s tour of duty ended, he was eager to get home to his wife and kids. He couldn’t wait to leave the ugliness of war behind. But once the joy of his homecoming wore off, Bill wasn’t the same person anymore. Before the war, he’d been a pretty patient guy. Now his temper was short and explosive.

After the joy of homecoming, veterans have to cope with the difficulties of civilian life.
