American soldiers who were wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, after being in hospital don’t immediately go home.
First, they are sent to special camps where they undergo rehabilitation and restore the moral and physical strength.
They go fishing, riding a horse, rafting or doing other different kinds of activities and simply enjoy nature.
They can stay in the camp as long as they want to, until they feel that they are ready and want to return to normal life.
