Justin is Back

After a long, tedious 15 months in Iraq, my younger brother Justin is back in the US. He arrived back last Tuesday to an icy Ft. Reiley, KS. My parents drove up to meet him as he got off the plane and return his car to him. He's getting out of the army in March (lucky prick) and is actually somewhat homeless from now to then. He isn't going to rent a place, since he's only going to be around for a couple of months and wouldn't be able to get out of the lease just because he's getting out of the army. So he's crashing at someone's place who's away at a school and let Justin stay there out of the kindness of their heart.

Justin is an aspiring filmmaker and is trying to film a documentary about Iraq/Afghanistan veterans who have post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from the war. He's got a couple of guys with PTSD who have agreed to let Justin film them as they make their way along the road to recovery. If you have PTSD, or know someone who is effected by it, and are interested in being a part of this film, drop a comment and we'll try to set something up.

While you're at it, send a "Welcome back" message to my brother. justin.j.springer /at/ gmail dot com. While you're at it, show how much you really "support our troops" and send him some money to help finance his film.

Or maybe you can just buy a yellow ribbon magnet and put it on your car. I'm sure all the troops really appreciate that.
