Coming Home Well – Kevin Blanchard – Transitioning From Service After Injury

What to do after the military?  That’s a question so many veterans face, and it can terrify us.  If you’re a wounded veteran or have PTS, it become an even more difficult question.  Kevin Blanchard, USMC (ret), faced that same question at Walter Reed as he recovered from an IED blast that took his leg.  While most of us would fall into depression or self-pity, Kevin instead took hold of his future and has had an amazing 12 years since the military.  He and his wife Myra are leading a workshop on May 19th at Wildrock Retreat Center (www.wildrock.org) for veterans facing this same question.  Listen in and then sign up at www.myrakhanblanchard.com/events/.
