Are you dealing with the vets and family around Ft. Lewis?
Military duty during times of conflict is never easy...but the problems seem to have really increased since Viet Nam. Combat was much "easier" (for want of a better word) when you knew just who your enemy was. These days, with "undeclared" conflicts, our service men have so many restrictions it's no wonder they come back with "issues".
Take care, keep up the good work, your being there IS appreciated.
Thank those vets for their service for my DH and myself please.

Hi, There is an organization that might be of some help. It Wounded Warriors... I play games on IWON to raise money for their this organization. Just type in Wounded Warriors and it will give you the website. They might be able to give your friend places to contact for support for the family. Good Luck. My son is also military.

What you are doing is a huge help to these men and women. Sometimes we think our quilts are just quilts, but I had a young man tell me that everytime he looks at his quilt he is reminded of the note that was with it, and it makes him realize his life is important. Readjustment is a long term thing.
BTW the note we include says:
Just to let you know that you are one very important person and we are so glad that you are a part of this world.
