What happens when soldiers become civilians
Staten Island, NY (PRWEB) November 26, 2014 -- What happens after soldiers return home from war?
In A Hard Decision, former U.S. Marine and Vietnam War veteran Westley Thomas tells the fictional story of Vietnam P.O.W. William Dickenson and his wife, Zera, and the challenges they both face during and after the war.
After believing William was killed in Vietnam, Zera and her new husband, Steve, struggle with hard decisions of their own when William arrives at their doorstep years later. Their story also addresses post-traumatic stress disorder and other issues concerning veterans and their families.
“A war veteran returning home needs help, compassion and understanding,” Thomas said. “Families, especially spouses, need to be aware and prepared of what to know and expect.”
Not only does A Hard Decision act as a tool in helping veterans and their families better understand the plight of those who have served their nation, the book also combines love, war, loss, family, friendship, death and all of the elements of daily life that anyone could humanly experience.
