Tim B 02/12/2023 I'm jaded but the main takeaway of this piece is the connection it makes in Dan Hefel sharing his story so candidly and authentically. It makes you feel for all the soldiers and their families who weren't able to heal because of how they we treated when they came from, shamed, berated u able to share their story.
