US-FOR-SOME-RETU
MALDEN, MO - AUGUST 10: Iraq war veteran suffering from PTSD Robert Wake walks in front of his house August 10, 2009 in Malden, Missouri. Wake served in the MP (Military Police) in Iraq in 2003-2004 and saw brutal conditions during battles there, and eventually was seriously wounded by a mortar shell in Najaf. Upon returning to Missouri, he'd found that his home had been foreclosed on and that he suffered from flashbacks, blackouts and difficulty concentrating and sleeping, all hallmarks of PTSD, and he often sought solace in solitude. Wake lived alone and without counseling for a few years in a trailer on the grounds of a local airfield; now he's seeking treatment and has recently moved into this new house, and is planning on having his son and grandchildren move in with him. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has been a major issue for American soldiers returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Chris Hondros/Getty Images/AFP
