—"The best works by living writers on the heart of New Orleans." Miz' Remy is the author of Annie.
From The New York Times, Deborah Sontag and Lizette Alvarez, at Veterans for America War Torn: Across America, Deadly Echoes of Foreign Battles (Iraq War Veterans and Murder).
When you send people to war, they are not going to come home as the same person who left. They will carry lots of things - terrible memories, physical, mental, and spiritual injuries, and PTSD.
Keep the Covenant - RAISE YOUR VOICE FOR THEM - they went for you. It is the right thing to do and it must be done now!
Please, if you feel you need help, there is help. There is no shame in asking for help. If the VA has a long waiting list, go here, ask for Miss Paula, tell her I sent you, and ask for help. Sanctuary.

Read Jerry Wenstrom's review of Loving.
Rhea and Jordan Devereaux had it all: undying devotion, a tender love, and a grand passion. And then the Vietnam War separated them. Follow the course of their love across time and space. Journey with them through the steaming jungle; dance with the Mardi Gras revelers while revolution unseats Louis XVI and protestors on the Washington Mall scream, Hell, NO. We won't Go. Sail with Laffite's pirates into Devil's Isle and rejoice as an unconditional and timeless love emerges victorious.
