We are proud to document the stories of the men and women who risk their lives to serve and protect our country and the families that stand behind them. This Veteran’s Day, share their experiences and hear their voices through firsthand accounts.

As the U.S. prepares for the final drawdown of soldiers from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, Soledad O’Brien and MediaStorm take an intimate look at two veterans as they struggle with the transition from war to home. An encore presentation of The War Comes Home will air on CNN today at 9 p.m. EST.


To those who serve in the armed forces, what is the aftereffect of war? The Marlboro Marine is photographer Luis Sinco’s portrait of Marine Corporal James Blake Miller, whom he met in Iraq. For Miller, coming home has been its own battle.
