One of the things that
I have really seen is that once

veterans come together,
there is a really important

understanding that
they share some core experiences

and that they for those
who feel stigmatized

and who have been hiding a part
of what they did in war,

they see that
that is not uncommon.

And so I think groups
where veterans can talk about

these experiences can be
an incredible way to understand

that they are not alone

and that they
don't have to hide anymore.
