Since the first writings on war with the Illiad more that twenty seven centuries ago, authors and scholors have tried to capture their experiences and lessons of healing the physical and psychological wounds of war. Fortunately their stories and trials have been told in the books and programs that are available to us today.
If you or someone you know has returned from the military and are having difficulty adapting back into life, parenting, relationships or employment, one of the best places to look for help is within yourself already, and that is your ability to learn. The power of learning and personal development occurs privately and at our own pace, so take your time, start today and discover the answers you are seeking.

Courage After Fire
Courage after Fire provides information on common reactions that can occur after serving in a war zone as well as specific strategies to address them.This book focuses on the unique aspects of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), including the specific needs of the large number of US reservists and Army National Guard personnel participating in these operations, the stress of possible redeployment, and the reality that even with better medicine and body armor, many military service men and women taking part in OIF and OEF sustain physical and emotional wounds. Our goal is to offer help, hope, and inspiration to our newest veterans on their journey home from war.

Veteran's Survival Guide: How to File & Collect on Va Claims
"Claim denied” All too often millions of veterans have received this response to their legitimate claims for Federal benefits. in most cases, writes veterans’ advocate John 0. Roche, the claimant did not understand the procedures needed to meet the myriad requirements of the Department of Veterans Affairs. With the appeals process requiring years to resolve disputes, deserving veterans and their dependents are left confused and frustrated by the agency and a system that was created to serve them. The answer is to submit a well-grounded claim initially, which The Veteran’s Survival Guide analyzes in detail, Written in an accessible self-help style, Roche’s book should be required reading for any veteran or veteran’s dependent who wishes to obtain their well-earned benefits and for those officials of veterans service organizations whose job it is to assist veterans with their claims."
