Getting back on track in civilian life

After serving two tours in Iraq, Kris returned home and felt that other people didn't understand him. He missed the adrenaline rush he felt from his Army duties. A fellow Veteran told him about getting support from VA and helped Kris connect with resources. Reaching out to professionals and other Veterans helped him get his life back on track.
