Veterans

Season 2 Episode 6 | 26m 35s

More than a half million Virginians have served in the military, but many veterans report difficulty adjusting to civilian life after their service. They often struggle to make ends meet in their day-to-day life, but nonprofits work to provide them with food, community and supportive relationships with fellow veterans and assistance working through trauma.
