Heather Bosch explores the challenges local soldiers face when returning from war.

 

Part 1

The Department of Defense says more than a million Americans have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in the past four years. More than 800-thousand have returned, only to face battles on the home-front.

Part 2

Many soldiers leave Iraq and Afghanistan... only to find out they never REALLY left the battlefield behind.

Part 3

It's estimated that one-in-three soldiers -- returning from Iraq and Afghanistan -- will face mental health problems.... some more severe than others. But it doesn't  have to defeat them.

Part 4

Many Americans are returning from their service in  Iraq... with medals... and scars.

Part 5

According to the latest estimates, at least one in five soldiers returning from the middle east suffer from physical injuries.

Part 6

The road from the battlefield to the home-front can be a long one for our newest veterans, especially for those seeking help.
