Stryker Soldier Recovers

Nov-27-2008 » Filed Under: 3/2 SBCT

The Northwest Guardian profiles a 3/2 SBCT soldier who is finally easing back into family life after two difficult deployments.

Looking back, Andrew can see clearly how important family was to his recovery.

“I didn’t want to talk to anybody, but when you have a wife and kids, you have no choice,” Andrew said. “They’re right there, 24/7. So it makes it easier, because you have to interact.”

Andrew began telling his wife about his experiences in Iraq.

“It’s a lot easier to be able to talk to your spouse about things that you don’t tell your friends,” Andrew said. “You have that bond that’s greater than a friend or a best friend, because you share everything intimately.”
