Yesterday was Veteran’s Day. The Today Show was dedicating the time to inspirational stories of soldiers making their way back home on many levels. Some have physical wounds to heal, some have emotional scars, and some have both. I have known many military soldiers…my grandfathers, my dad, my first and current husband, my brothers, my son.
