The poignant story of "Forgotten Veterans" is told by the principal character, a Vietnam veteran himself, who has a first-hand understanding of the horrors of combat and the challenges faced by young men and women trying to return to their civilian lives, jobs and families. Often, these veterans have no refuge other than the Veterans Affairs hospital and many will spend the rest of their days isolated from the life they once knew. Recreation therapists spend their careers trying to make the daily lives of the veteran patients as bearable as possible. Each patient makes a new, unforgettable impression on the hospital staff. No one reading these stories can help but be touched by the plight of these warriors who stood tall in defending their country and who, in their time of need, have frequently been pushed from the Nations attention.
The Forgotten Veterans is a chronology of real events, simple by themselves, but put together in context by one who experienced hospitalized veterans problems first hand. This book forms a meaningful and timely testimony for the need to preserve America's commitment to all of its veterans, particularly those whose lives have been wounded forever.

Very satisfied reader!!!,

This review is from: The Forgotten Veterans (Paperback)
I really got in to this book. The stories about the Veterans and the VA staff members were humerous and, in some cases, very tragic. This book really does make you aware, from real veteran cases, just how many vets struggle with the adjustments they have to go through to get back to the life as they knew it before their military service.
