Caroline Yang for NPR This essay was written by Quil Lawrence, NPR's veterans correspondent

It is Veterans Day at the moment and NPR is the one mainstream nationwide community with a devoted veterans reporter. This week, Quil Lawrence launched a two-part podcast on The Sunday Story from Up First, which follows the story of Dave Carlson, an Iraq conflict veteran who he has been speaking to for over a decade.

Again in 2015, I used to be doing a narrative that led me to speak to some veterans who have been incarcerated. That is when somebody informed me a shocking truth: while you get incarcerated, you change into a ward of the state. Which means, it does not make sense for the Division of Veterans Affairs to be taking good care of you, as a result of a special a part of the federal government is taking good care of you. And also you lose a number of your veteran's advantages.

I wished to know: what's it wish to have fight PTSD after which be thrown into this atmosphere the place you possibly can't let your guard down, the place you possibly can't actually heal, and the place you do not have entry to companies that might assist? So I used to be in search of an incarcerated veteran to interview. And that is when I discovered an internet site that includes Carlson's writing from jail. His mother had set it up for him and she or he helped me get in contact.

There's this query that is been nagging me ever since I used to be a conflict reporter embedded with energetic obligation troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. These have been the primary main set of wars we have had with out a navy draft, which suggests a number of American households weren't pressured to endure the expertise of preventing or sending family members to battle these wars. That may make veterans sort of really feel this loneliness and this cultural divide.

I wished to know: What can we owe the individuals who have been despatched to conflict and got here again with painful however usually invisible wounds? I do not know that I've absolutely discovered the reply, however this podcast helped me course of that query by means of Carlson's story. Finally, I believe what we owe veterans largely is an open thoughts. And remembering that the majority vets are similar to you and me.

Take heed to Half 1 of the podcast right here and Half 2 right here.
