While Jared Seyl isn’t aware of Denver data, he does recall talking to a veteran he met before who said that after his four-year deployment, he barely recognized the world and the people around him. In addition, 31.2% reported a feeling of isolation from others. Veterans also say that they need guidance, affirmation of their worth, social integra...
