It's about time ...

Kudos to my nearest AAFES outlet, the BX at Ramstein AB. I was in the book store there this past week and saw an entire end cap display of books about PTSD.

The display had a variety of informational books, as well as paperback editions of Kristin Henderson's "While They're At War." Kristin's book provides an indepth look into the lives of spouses during deployment and after. A link to her Web site is provided on the Spouse Calls links at the right side of this page.

If you are in this situation, please do not hesitate to reach out and look for the support you need:
