By now almost everyone has heard that more 40,000 of our men and women in uniform will be home from Iraq by Christmas.
Many are celebrating, but a New Mexico group that helps veterans get re-adjusted to life after war is worried the nation isn't ready.
Jim Stanek remembers the uncertainty, confusion – even the fear he felt trying to adjust to life back home after three tours in the Middle East.

"It's hard enough for your average citizen to find a job, now you have combat vets coming back with physical injuries, PTSD...how are they supposed to find that job," said Paws and Stripes founder, Jim Stanek.
