    David Philipps talks about his book, a chronicle of the Army unit from Fort Carson that was plagued by post-traumatic stress disorder. Misdiagnosed or untreated since returning from war, some soldiers from the unit embarked on drug-fueled crime sprees, some of which resulted in murder. Philipps highlights the inspiring story of Major General Mark Graham, then commander at Fort Carson. He opened his doors to the community for help, speaking candidly about the issue and offering a potential lifeline to the soldiers and a solution to this deadly problem. Philipps is an award-winning journalist at the Colorado Springs Gazette, Livingston Award winner, and Pulitzer Prize finalist.
