For former soldiers returning from Iraq, coming home means changing from a mindset molded by wartime service to civilian life.
Joe Herscher served in Iraq from February 2004 to the end of September that same year. Forty-six Marines out of his battalion of 900 with were killed in those seven months, he said.
