It is with great pleasure that I welcome back Roger Lockshier for a third episode. We discuss his experiences to adjusting to civilian life upon returning home from Vietnam and in the decades that followed. His insights help us understand some of the effects that war has on a soldier and provides context as to how individuals and institutions can provide greater support for our veterans.
