Yet, there are a number of unique challenges that make the transition more difficult, making the importance of community that much more relevant. Listen to two Native vets share their experiences of coming home from deployment, one from Vietnam and another from the Middle East, and their advice for connecting to a powerful community.

What does it mean for a veteran to be part of a community when they return from deployment? For some that means starting by finding a safe and secure home. For others it means coming together in the outdoors to connect with other vets over extreme sports, recreating that sense of camaraderie they might have felt in the service. Two expert veteran guests, Rebecca Stancil and Anton Johnson, will be speaking with me about the importance of community for veterans.
