★American Airman★ is a story of vulnerability, resiliency, and hope. No veteran returns home the same as when they first enlisted. More often than not, the scars and wounds go unseen and the battle doesn’t end at discharge. This airman’s story bears witness to the men and women who, in fighting for our rights and freedoms, make unimaginable sacrifices and, then, must search for that elusive “new “normal” after sacrifice becomes reality. American Airman grapples with several issues regularly covered in the media including mental health, veteran health care, and the impact of a recovering veteran on their family.
