My husband is an Infantry Major in the US Army Reserve, he received 2 weeks notice for deployment and in that 2 weeks referred 230 clients out and closed his law practice to serve, no questions asked, he is a good soldier and an honorable man. He has returned now, but he is not the same man I kissed good bye at Ft. Benning. Please tell me how to help him! Our lives are falling apart and there is NO HELP FOR RESERVISTS! He was deployed individually without his unit... I don't know what to do for him.. He is so angry.. please help before our family is torn apart!! vlmurdoch@hotmail.com
