“I am no longer the boy who came here, nor am I the man I was destined to be.”
Does a returning war veteran ever escape the horrors to which they bore witness?
Shell shock was the terminology of WWI, today it is called PTSD. Whatever it is called, it has long lasting effects.
In War Springs Eternal, Joe Leonardi explores the topics of war, returning home, and the war within.
War Springs Eternal is dedicated to my brothers and sisters in arms –
-To those who were asked to do the unthinkable.
-To those who HAD to do the unimaginable.
-To those who are broken and still fighting.
-To those for whom the fighting became too much.
