The lingering aftereffects of Iraq and Afghanistan remain--for myriad reasons--largely invisible to the American public. In "Retire the Colors," men and women, veterans and civilians, open doors to places few ever see: the day-to-day complexities of relationships, popular culture, healing, time and memories, best friends, and shifting self-perceptions. These stories--graceful, raw, and intelligent--expand our understanding of how war resonates in the lives of those who love and support service members, and will help us form a clearer, more compassionate understanding of what really happens back home. Contributors include Brian Castner, David Chrisinger, Teresa Fazio, Matthew Hefti, Colin Halloran, Lauren Halloran, Brooke King, Melissa Walker, and more.
