Wounded Warriors office for Veterans
Angie Peacock lost 40 pounds in two months from stress and dehydration while serving in Baghdad, but coming home to Missouri was also hell. After she was medically retired from the Army, her isolation and depression deepened. Post-traumatic stress disorder. Substance abuse. Homelessness. Suicidal thoughts. Now, the 35-year-old has her life back, and she credits a national organization, the Wounded Warrior Project. (The picture is of Peacock and her service dog, G.I. Joe.)
