Salute to Homecoming

The last American soldiers have left Iraq. That is excellent news. The problems have just begun at home. The war is over, the battle is not. Salute to Spouses will address the challenges and successes of military families as they move beyond the war in Iraq. We will connect our readers with experts who can answer questions and help military families rebuild their relationships and their lives.
