Coming home doesn't mean their war is over. For many soldiers, coming home is only the beginning. The beginning of a constant battle to survive in their own mind. Many soldiers who have returned to civilian life as veterans are fighting for their lives in a secret and lonely battle. It's a battle we can't see, but with as many as 22 veterans taking their own lives every single day, it's a battle that is very real.
