Thank You for Your Service

Inspired by true events.

This ensemble piece is about a group of U.S. soldiers returning from Iraq who struggle to integrate back into family and civilian life, while living with the memory of a war that threatens to destroy them long after they’ve left the battlefield. In essence, a look at Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, up close and personal.
