I thank the editors of Wordpress for the honor of being selected for inclusion in "Freshly Pressed," but even more I thank the men and women who have bravely shared their lives with me and who continue to hope for a better future for themselves and for those whom they love.
I will be publishing an edited volume of some of the 2012 posts, entitled "Listening to War: A Psychiatrist, Veterans with PTSD. and Their Search for Hope," through iUniverse later this year. Many thanks to all for your interest and for your support.
