More and more soldiers are being affected by post-traumatic stress disorder—and horrifyingly, 20 veterans die by suicide every day. But Lt. Col. Damon Friedman, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and has experienced the struggle of PTSD personally, has a message of hope: There can be healing. He joins us to talk about what worked for him, and the brutal realities soldiers must contend with in the field.
