That's what this vet center does. This is a place where you can sit down — maybe with another veteran from Iraq or Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, World War II or peace time — and say, 'You know, I've been in that hole you're in. I'm going to climb in there with you because I know the way out and I'm gonna...
