Moving Past PTSD : Consciousness, Understanding, and Appreciation for Military Veterans and Their Families

In this useful guide for veterans and their loved ones, Parent, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel, mixes history and statistics with steps that individuals can take to help military men and women after they return from combat. He shares the fact that he is the father of an adult son with autism, which is undoubtedly one reason he exudes empathy for soldiers who worry that others will think they're dangerous to be around and looking for a handout. Typically, they're not. But when they're haunted by the violence they've endured, they can end up suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, which can also, complexly enough, afflict Gold Star family members. Parent notes that help for American veterans dates back to 1636, when colonists at war with Pequot Indians passed a law stipulating that the colony would support disabled soldiers. Parent promotes the practical and confidence-boosting benefits of job training and internships and urges people to hire vets. An altogether Informative and empowering look at doing right for veterans.--Karen Springen Copyright 2010 Booklist
