For an entire generation, the memory of the villainry of September 11th is seared into our minds, but for a select group of us, those events were even more impactful, because they led to 18 years of suspicion, discrimination, illegal surveillance, curtailing of our civil rights, and in some cases, death and physical harm.

More than a few dozen have come home to an America that can scarcely understand the trauma of war and the dramatic toll prolonged exposure to violence can take on a mind.
