Linda Kreter and Mil Resource Radio presents: Stacy Bannerman, author of “Homefront 911: How Families of Veterans are Wounded by Our Wars”. Effects of war on veteran families, 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. Homefront 911 starts a conversation that could span a dozen shows. Engaging in war takes training and preparation - re-entering society, especially after injury, becomes the nation's equivalent of a "dine and dash".
