Transcript

Come in from the cold.

I mean, you've known your life, most Vietnam Vets, guys like me,

been homeless off and on, gone through to dozens of jobs,

either quit them, been fired

because you were rude or something.

It doesn't have to stay that way.

You can change.

Just because we are getting older doesn't make us antique.

You're not taking from anybody by taking care of your problem

for you and that's what I did and now my life's much better.

My family life's better.

I have a future now and I think that's the key thing,

that we've had no future for a long time.

You come in, you start dealing with your PTSD and you can find

that there's still a future.

Even if we become 60, we still have time,

we still could be happy.

I'm a perfect example, thank you,
