Today we speak in remembrance of those who have fallen in battle to serve their country and we discuss healing the painful wounds of war.
My father Jack Gutman, one of the last surviving veterans of the Invasion of Normandy, joins us today to share the story of his 66 year-long battle with PTSD and how he got the help he so desperately needed to regain control of his life.
