S2 Ep 1 - Why Try?

S2 Ep 1 - Why Try?

As Veterans, sometimes it's difficult to even know - why should we try to rediscover our purpose?

We had purpose at one point in the past, and we can't imagine what that would be like - having purpose again.

And that begs the question, "Why try?"

Why even put forth the effort to rediscover purpose?

We answer that question and more in this, the very first episode of Season 2!
