The first page today is From The Soldier’s Mission by Author Lenora Worth.<\/p>\n

Chapter One<\/p>\n

“She couldn\u2019t get his voice out of her head.<\/p>\n

Laura Walton thought about the man she\u2019d come to the desert to find. The man everyone was worried about. The man who, a few weeks ago, had called the CHAIM hotline in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy father died in Vietnam,\u201d the grainy, low voice said over the phone line. \u201cMy brother was wounded in Desert Storm. He\u2019s in a wheelchair now. And I just got back from Afghanistan. Lost my whole unit. Lost everyone. I think I need to talk to somebody.\u201d<\/p>\n

Laura had been on call that night, volunteering to man the hotline that CHAIM held open for all of its operatives. But only one call had come to the Phoenix hotline on that still fall night. One call from a man who was suffering a tremendous amount of survivor\u2019s guilt.<\/p>\n

Laura understood this kind of guilt. She didn\u2019t have survivor\u2019s guilt, but her own guilt ate away at her just the same. She\u2019d lost a patient recently. A young patient who\u2019d taken his own life. She\u2019d failed the teenager.<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t want to fail Luke Martinez.<\/p>\n

The soldier\u2019s tormented words, spoken with such raw pain, had stayed with her long after the man had hung up.<\/p>\n

Which he did, immediately after confessing that he needed to talk.”<\/p>\n
