As a war vet, it is never believed that one gets rid of the war environment. It tends to stay with us through a lifetime. When one must think all it might be, is acting cool and mighty, the behind-the-scenes are quite the opposite. With this book, myself, Leonard Clarence DeGrate, Jr, retired from federal service on 31 March 2021, wants to expound on the disguised truths and disastrous aftereffects of having gone through multiple versions of wars. Everything a soldier is needed to bear even after they've had quit from the battlegrounds. From society's behavior to the drastic effect on a soldier's mental health. The repercussion is often the worse part, as it doesn't just stay with you, but it disturbs everyone around you, from family to friends. Having constant depression and mental disorders would be one hell of a ride for not just you but everyone relating. Through this book, I want to pass on the information and experiences my family and I had to meet, along with various ways you look for to recover—all those disorders and all the symptoms, causes, and cures to it. You are not alone; you served the country and now it's time for the country to play a bit of its part. This isn't the time to feel helpless or lost when you've been escaping death for years, courageously and headstrong. You are the reason this country exists right now, and it's time to hold some strength for yourself too! You are not lost and you will never lose to ix something so mere, with a bit of knowledge and will; this shall indeed pass. I hope to give my fellow brothers a way to find hope within themselves and believe in themselves, with all I can do for them in this book. We are in this together
