Do you have a post-military pain story? Many veterans do, and managing physical, emotional, or spiritual pain can be the gorilla in the room overshadowing your day-to-day civilian life.

 

The panelists in this episode of the AlphaLimaCharlie podcast each have their own pain stories, and have worked to help alleviate pain in others.
