Ellyn's husband and son both fought in Afghanistan. One returned home with pride, the other haunted by his experience. But the war changed all of their lives.
Over two decades, more than 800,000 Americans were deployed to Afghanistan, often for long and multiple tours. Millions more - the friends and relatives of those who served - were profoundly impacted too.
This is one family's story.

The same has been true for all our wars...the difference is that now we have not just fathers and sons, but mothers and sons and mothers and daughters.

I am currently deployed with a Mother and Son team and it is amazing watching these two interact. We aren't in a dangerous area but I can only imagine how bad something like this could affect people.

I imagine we will be hearing these kinds of stories for a long time to come.
