We had naval soldiers with us. One of them was taliban. Iraqi behind vehicles. Ak shot me. Ptsd. Ied blast. We had a lot of problems sleeping, nightmares. The person that came home was not the person who left. He was more distant. He wasnt the man i married. We have had them come off the airplane fighting. I wanted to leave the situation. You wonder how in the world are you going to get through the week with this. We havent had a chance to get away and work on our relationship. Their bodies are broken but these marriages can be
healed. World seen jungles and deserts just paradise. Welcome to alaska, a very special kind of retreat created to heal our patriots and their spouses. Im Greta Van Susteren were going to take fishing, kayaking and even bear watching as some of the bravest heroes and their spouses try to put their pasts behind them and try to find new beginnings. These heroes and their families have made enormous sacrifices for all of us. Its our turn to try to help them. We came here to alaska to see what one organization, samaritans bur a purse is doing to help heal our patriots. This is samaritan lodge, alaska, cabins nevada in the park. 150 miles from anchorage by air which is the closest place to buy a quarter of milk. It is mommy for the next week for these couples. Nice to meet you, sir. Thank you, guys. If we can send people to space. If we can do all of these things that we have done as a nation, certainly we audited to be able to find ways to deal with the pain that these men and women are going through because of the injuries they have suffered defending our nation. Reverend Franklin Graham is the president of samaritans purse which funds the lodge. My youngest son served seven tours. He was wounded on his third deployment. So jane and i understand just a little bit of what these families go through. And the hardship it is on the family. Do you remember the date you were injured . I do. Like it was yesterday. 2 may of 2009. Sergeant first class Chuck Armstead was injured on third combat tour in iraq. We want we were on a come
battalion outpost south of mosul it was iraqi training compound also. It was my day to pull guard and i happened to be upstairs initially and i heard a gunshot. But and soldiers knew if something happened to call me on the radio and let me know what was going on. No one ever called. I walk outside im going to find out whats going on to check on him to make sure he was okay. I walk outside. I didnt see anybody at the gate. I didnt see him. And so i started to proceed to walk further and out steps an iraqi from behind the vehicle with an ak and he just shot me. Shot me in the stomach. One went through and shattered my hip. Pretty much came out othe other side of my butt cheek. Pretty much paralyzed me from the waste waist down. They gave me no more than two hours to survive. They shot an artery. I bled out and they couldnt get any circulation to my
leg anymore. They had had to cut it away. Anyone killed. Three wounded. I was one of the three wounded and two others did not make it that day. Unfortunately, chucks story is far from rare. The department of defense estimates a 2,000 u. S. Service members have been wounded in iraq and afghanistan. What happened to you . I just didnt run fast enough. I mean, thats all you could say. The building that we had got hit by stray mortars. And i had some damage to my head and i lost my vision in one eye and my knees were messed up. They just got busted up more. Now we just try to keep everything held together the best we can. How do you describe what came home to you . Well, michael, like the others have said, the person that came home was not the person that left. And michael, he couldnt
remember simple things. And it was just it was like the light in his eyes had gone out. As a wife, the same person doesnt come back and oftentimes broken physically. Thats correct. They are emotionally different. They are physically different. And this is the that is so hard for the couples to deal with. And there is a lot of guilt with the soldier because is he not the person that his wife married. When i left, i was in charge of everything. And then when i got home, i have to have someone tell me when to bathe. I mean, because you dont remember if you took a bath or not, you know. You cant drive anymore. Because, you know, you forget where the car is. And now you are dependent on everybody for everything. And it just you are mad at the world because thats not who you were. And its just difficult to overtom that. Its hard on her because you tend to blame your spouse for everything. Because you just dont know whats going on. Your world is turned upside down. There is a lot of programs for the soldier. And activities for soldier to go do. There wasnt anything that included the spouses. Thats why we decided okay, let dance something. I dont want to duplicate something u greta, that somebody else is doing. Lets try to do something different. Focusing on the marriage is different. Everybody is like oh, yea, mike, the hero, whatever. They dont see stefanie behind the scenes. She was the one doing the bills. She was the one signing the paperwork. She was the one tracking things down and making sure my recovery went well. Master Sergeant Mike trough says his wife steaf any is the real hero in their marriage. She took the lead when mike was injured in afghanistan in 2012. We were escorting International Development representative. She wanted to see the school
to see if there was school being taught. We are in a Little Village called robot. And we had had had six al banian nato soldier us with us. 8 afghannians. One of them was a taliban plant. He turned the machine gun on me and two other al gannian soldiers shot five times with a machine gun. I lost my thumb and forefinger and shot both legs and both buttocks and it was a long road. When military member comes home injured, dynamics change. And we werent sure how to deal with it we had no clue how to deal with it we had put up walls. We quit communicating. The wife is trying to explain to her husband or the husband is trying to explain to the wife if thats the case what they had been through and so forth. But the spouse doesnt
understand what the soldier has gone through and the soldier doesnt understand what the spouse has gone through. What happens is these marriages are beginning to drift apart. Sergeant met her husband Gunnery Sergeant edward merits in the marine corps. She retired. He stayed. In she said his four combat deployments changed him. He was a completely different man when he returned. In what way . He was more distant. He didnt seem to care anymore about himself or others. It was it just wasnt the man i married. And he wasnt as loving as he was before he left. There was some really dark times, you know, where i was i would drink all the time. You know, i would come home from work and i would drink a 20 pack of beer. You know, on the weekends i would sit on the couch or sit outside and thats all i
would do is drink all day. It took her leaving me for me to truly understand what i had. Marriage is tough. Even under the best of circumstances. But you take an injury that now changes that person, thats not the person you married. And you have had these long deployments where you have been separated. These marriages, greta, need help. They need help. Our brave soldiers and marines put their lives on the line for us every day. Their spouses know the risk of injury or death is always near. But nothing can prepare them for that dreaded phone call. Certify, how did you hear that mike was hurt . He called me from the operating room when he was in recovery and he wanted to tell me himself. He didnt want me finding out from the army. He had one of his troops get a cell phone for him and he called me very morphined up. Sergeant who just got in from leave holding my hand he said how are you doing, sergeant, i said fine, get a
phone because i wanted to tell my wife. What were the words that came across . I cant say on air. [ laughter ] but i actually when i came out of the spa, i had 19 missed calls from a restricted number. 19 . Yeah. So they kept calling me over and over. So i knew when i looked at the phone i knew something had happened. I just sat in my car and waited and it was probably about a minute and the phone rang again and i answered it and i heard his sergeant in the background say master sergeant, she answered. Answer then it took him a while to speak because of the medication he was on. He finally came up and told me. Were you comfortable that you thought he was going to it live or did it cross your mind he might not live . His injuries were very serious. And when i first talked to the doctors at kandahar, their first medical reports he was critical. I was actually in conversation playing softball when i got the phone call. Who called you and what was said . One of his battle buddies. I guess he was one of the people that that comes to
your house. So, since i wasnt there, he talked to my oldest. And my oldest, he gave her the phone and she was like mom, i got some bad news. And i lost it because im like why is she calling me saying she has got bad news about dad. I knew i had just talked to him earlier that morning. And one of my other friends got the phone and thats when they told her that chuck had been shot. Did they tell you how seriously . Yeah. Yeah. Told me was shot in the abdomen and it wasnt good. And once i actually got to talk to the doctors, thats when they told me they was going to give him two hours. Two hours to live . To live, yes. My daughterinlaw, when she got the phone call that my son was was injured,
greta, you dont know. You are not talking to the doctor right then. So you dont know and you are left in a vacuum of darkness for hours. You just dont know. And for me as a dad, its tough. Its tough for me. But just think what it does for the wives and the children of these soldiers and the injuries and the pain and suffering they have been through. Thats why we want to help them here. I cant help them all, but these 10 a week that come here. These 10 couples, i can do something about that. We were on our last leg, i mean, we had had exhausted everything. And i mean, its like a pilot running out of fuel. You either ditch the plane or you eject the only problems we didnt have room for both of to us eject. You know, i wanted to just leave the whole situation. And just let her get on with
her life. We have seen, greta, by the end of the week, couples that had not talked to each other, had not held each others hand, had not slept together for the first time in the same room in the same bed and no distractions, no television, no internet, and they are kind of forced to talk. And i think once they Start Talking and all of a sudden i think they kind of remember what it was like when they first met each other. A lot of these soldiers come up here and they think that theyre the only ones that are kind of going through what theyre going through because they dont have that kind of support group of other Wounded Soldiers to hang with. So, when they are up here, they are sitting around this room right here discussing their problems that theyre facing with their marriages, the problems they are facing with their kids or the problems theyre facing with their meds that they are taking. And they didnt know that there were other people that they could caulk to. Did you find out why your spouse is so weird . You know, you kind of watch
them do things and then all of a sudden you feel like thats why they are like that. The classes that the content is all professionally done and its by the military, by chaplains who have served in the military. Mark lang is the Program Manager for samaritans lodge, alaska. These guys really connect with all of our staff and especially with the chaplain. Men, what do we do . We dont like that implies we are wrong. That implies we have failed. And what the is men that men fear the most . Shame and dishonor. Most of these couples dont know each other when they come up here and so they get new friends and the women have a chance to talk to the other women. The guys have students to share with each other, which is really awesome to talk about their injuries and Different Things they go through. So, its they gain knowledge, you know are from each other and there is a
comradery that develops throughout the course of the week. Its life changing for people. Experts believe as many as 20 of iraq vets suffer from ptsd. Hear about the struggles they experience. Plus we have had them come off the airplane fighting. And you just wonder how in the world are you going to get through the week with this . Can these marriages be saved . All that, when this on the record special, the next battle, when our heroes come home returns. I love alaska. I have since the first time i came here in 1973. Its a land of breathe taking beauty and excitement. So when samaritans purse
franklin county gave me a week to spend there with Wounded Warriors i didnt hesitate. I grabbed my hesitate and Griff Jenkins and he grabbed his camera and we headed to alaska. We are headed to brook falls this morning with five of our veteran couples from operation heal our patriots and bricks falls is the most photographed area for alaska brown bears. We are excited and ready to go. There are some big sows with cubs. Its kind of like being in the zoo without the fences. Pretty cool. It is nature. Oh, yeah. Its not entirely without some danger. Well, thats true. The plan is, we have all flown in on these c planes. We are going to go bear hunting. We all have our cameras and we are going to get up
close, not too personal, but up close with all bears. Currently here at the bear trails waiting for a bear to leave the area outside of the auto yard line from the bridge that why we can reapproach the bridge. Thats a pretty big size bear. A yawn is a sign they are stressed out. Go back. Move their head back and forth. Their jaw pops. Uhoh he yawned. Get ready to walk rapidly if he comes this way. Amazing, isnt it . Beautiful. All right, folks. We can now head up to the corners. You will be pretty close to them its a wonderful time where the couples are just hand in hand
concentrating on each other. The focus is not fishing or bear viewing. The focus is on the couples. This is awesome, unreal. These couples, these long deployments and the difficulty that it is for the marriages that we needed to do something and this was something that samaritans purse could do. So i thought about bringing soldiers up here just to take them fishing and bear viewing. We had other people say franklin, why dont we think about the marriage enrichment. You see, the first day they come, in there is a little trepidation, by thursday you see these folks just really developing relationships. For instance, this morning, i i had one of the veterans
tell me he and his wife have slept together in the same bed in over seven years. The first time that they have held hands and walked on one of their boardwalks. And so you hear stuff like that is really encouraging. You know, when you look around, this you see gods creation. And and the beauty. You are away from the distractions of the world and you are seeing nature in its purest form. It really sets the stage. Coming up next, the Wounded Warriors challenge me to take the polar plunge. Beat me you have to jump in the lake with us. Am i brave enough to actually do it . Moderate to severe Crohns Disease is tough,
but ive managed. I got to be pretty good at managing my symptoms, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. When i finally told my doctor, he said my crohns was not under control. He said humira is for adults like me whove tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe Crohns Disease. And that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. [ female announcer ] humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions,
and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. If youre still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible.

Live from americas news headquarters im kelly wright, getting on terrorism, the uk now taping steps aimed at keeping british citizens from going along fight terror groups. Prime minister David Cammeron expected to win the approval of parliament. They include a plan to block suspected jihadi fighters from reentering the country. Intelligence suspect 500 britains had gone to fight in syria and iraq. Cammeron describes extremism posed by the Islamic State group as the biggest Security Threat of modern times. Here at home, the chips are down in Atlantic City as another gambling resort begins folding. It will close its doors for good by tomorrow. The show boat closed yesterday and the trump plaza goes bus in two weeks. Thousands of casino workers now face unemployment. Im kelly wright, now back to an on the record special report. Ptsd. We are learning more every day about the horrors of posttraumatic stress syndrome or ptsd. Experts believe upwards of 20 of iraq and afghanistan veterans suffer from it it but, in reality, that figure
may be much higher. We heard about it firsthand from some of our bravest heroes and their spouses. During the of course after the first the invasion, i came back and no one really talked about ptsd but there was something wrong. It took me going to the bhal my wife and i had a huge anxiety attack. Thats when we first started finding out about pdsd. Nearly 120,000 soldiers who fought in rawng and afghanistan diagnosed with ptsd. Guilt, problem concentrating and higher risk suicide. Had a lot of problems sleeping and nightmares with the ptsd. Then my last tour to afghanistan we hit an ied outside of southern helmand province. I was later diagnosed with tbi and ptsd of course. I have been on various medications trying to get it
all under control. It was our kids and our wives and i didnt know if it was a good idea to be around the grand kids anymore. The issues i was having were so bad. And the whole family started to descent disintegrate. There wasnt anything left. What were the issues . Not being able to remember and being very angry when things werent the way i wanted it i mean, everything has to be exactly how i need it or i get very upset and then not remembering what she says and not remembering where i put things. I have tbi, ptsd due to repeat exposure due to ied blasts and detonations. I suffer from migraines, memory issues. Insome i cant. Ron and marianne are active duty meernsz. After my first deployment
which was primarily infantry, i lost we lost a lot of guys out there to ieds and i knew that we i would be called to go back to combat during ieb i felt like every ied, every bomb i disarmed that was one young man, young woman, husband, wife, son or daughter that was going to come home and that allowed me to deal with the horrors and tragedies of war and be able to look look at myself in the mirror every night most battling with ptsd are overcoming injuries at the same time. I also dislocated my soldier. I tore my leg. I tore my bye accept in three quarters. It took two reconstructive soldier surgeries. Thumbs are really important. You dont know until you have lost one. I was kind of down for a while and my therapists molly said she took my shoes because i didnt want to play that day. So she threw them at me she says get your shoes on and we are going down to they were. I said how am i supposed to tie my shoes . She is like you have got to figure it out. I said you are a hard woman. She is like you know, its not going to get any easier. So that day i really made a conscious decision like im going to try. So i got a pen and i got like my shoes and would try them over and over and over again just so i could learn how to tie them. Can i tie my shoes now with this hand. I hate to get up. I didnt want to go to therapy. Therapists juiced to come down and scream at me every day. I rolled down there unwillingly and it was 19, 20yearold kid sitting there in a chair. He was with his brother. And he was down there. He had no arms. No legs and he was just as
happy as anybody in there. He was cracking jokes and every day i would go down there i, i would see him. He was the same way every day. I have got two arms. I got my mind. I got one leg. I dont have anything to be sad or mad about. So, from that day forward, my attitude just like changed overnight. I was like i want to go talk to people. I wanted to go encourage people. So many of these cup peels peel that theyre feel theyre the only ones going through. This nobody understands what theyre going through. All of a sudden they are with nine other couples that yeah, we have that same problem. These military families are already under incredible stress. When one of them is injured, the last thing they need is a hassle getting healthcare. But we now know many vets are waiting months, or even years to see a doctor. Its like they close the door and dont care. In the v. A. System they have the caregiver program. You have a lot of coordinators that dont care and think that everyone is there for a handout. But we are really just there because we need help. These soldiers, a lot of them, the va can only take them so far. And they are having to get treatment outside of the v. A. For, especially for pain. Now these soldiers are able to network with one another. Listen, im trying this. Here is a doctor at this particular location that has been able to help me. I think thats valuable for spouses to have. Another frustration is finding suitable work after leaving the service. Petty deployments to the middle east. My husband was an independent duet foreman in the military. What does that mean . It means they he was a physician assistant for the military. He would do surgery if he needed to in the combat field. He would give out medication. He would examine his guys, that sort of thing. He goes back and talk to people about a possible job. What do they say would be a good job for him . Actually, one of the job he got was a sandwich assembler. They told him he would be good at subway making those sandwiches. We had to pick his mouth up off the floor if thats as good as it gets maybe we shouldnt look any further. Helps marines find jobs after they leave the corps. One of the biggest things is just people understanding, number one, dont be afraid of what you are getting. You are getting a highly qualified, highly trained. Any vet walking out of the military is going to bring discipline. A time schedule, team work, problemsolving all of that to you. Really understanding what you are getting in a package from a veteran. And then helping the veterans understand and really capitalize on what they can do. These military couples do plenty of work here in alaska. There there is still lots of time for fun. I will put my fly fishing skills up against the Wounded Warriors. I got a fish. Time to take the polar plunge. Who will dive into that icy
water . I did mention to greta that this was a swim team. If she wanted to be a team player to come out and join our team. Sometimes make you do unexpected things like jumping into a freezing cold lake. These Wounded Warriors and many of their spouses decide to take the polar plunge and they wanted to take me down with them. So what are your plans for the day . We are going to be climbing to the mountaintop,
me and my wife and one guide. You are going to beat your husband to the top, arent you . Of course i am. Any doubt at all . No doubt. Do you have any doubts . No. The deal is if she beats me you have to jump in the lake with her. You know, im rooting for you. That water is cold. Thats part of the deal though. As a journalist, i need to do some research before taking the plunge. How cold is it . Its warm. You are a liar. About 50 degrees. I will go if you go. [ laughter ] i will consider it. Clothes or no clothes . Clothes. Who is challenging to you jump in the lake with them. They keep saying they want me to join the polar bear club. I dont know how long can i dodge it but anyway it looks
cold. Finally, it was go time. I dont know whats going on. All i know is they want to do the polar plunge. And my daughter sissy is shaming me into doing. This so im doing it im going to do it all of my friends here. We are going to jump in. I have my telephone with me. I dont want to break my telephone. Otherwise i would be happy to do it. Reverend graham, its been nice knowing you. [screams] [cheers] [cheers and applause]
oh my god. I didnt know that water was that cold. You are going in. [cheers] oh my government. That was fantastic. Would have jumped but i had to do the camera work. You dont have the camera now. [ laughter ] today climbed a mountain and you beat them to the top of the mountain. I did. I beat them to the want to mountain. I said if you got to the top of the mountain first i would jump in the water i didnt quite do it. No. But you were holding the
camera. You are so nice to defend me after giving me after teasing me about it this guy is worth keeping. The polar plunge was not for me. But anyone can do fly fishing, right . The captain here, he has a little special creek here. He says the fishing is hot. I caught something but it is someone elses line. First fish of the day . Yep. First fish of the day. Are they going to get bigger . They will. Much bigger. How badly do you want to outfish your husband . Super bad. Im so competitive. Such a relief. Congratulations. Thank you. What have you got here . Whats going on . We have got a Beautiful Lake trout. Whoa. I got a fish. I got a fish. That was so bad. That was the meanest ever. How many fish you have caught already . Five. Five . Yes. Here we go. Pretty good size . What is that . Pretty close, yeah. You probably are the champion fisherman this week . I am. I got 11 today so tawas very
exciting. Pretty unbelievable. They were biting good though. Our brave patriots fought to secure iraq and afghanistan. What do they think of the chaos spreading there now . Just hard to watch.

Pulled last combat troops out of iraq. Last than three years later the country is dedescending into chaos. Isis declared part of iraq Islamic State. Killing christians and others. The war on terror is not over by a long shot. Just because you have pulled out of iraq. You see the chaos that is now in iraq. Thats going to come back
again sometime in the future. Maybe not maybe the Obama Administration will not be dealing with it but whoever the president is down the road will have to deal with this again. The u. S. Launched air strikes according to Iraqi Security forces in retaliation, isis beheaded an american journalist and it threatens to do the same to other itch american prisoners. So farther president has said he is not going to put u. S. Boots back on the ground in iraq. Is there any sort of heart break as you watch whats going on in iraq and afghanistan at this point . I have to be careful what i say because im still in the military. But, for me, i was there in mosul fell. I remember all the work we did to regain it i kind of make it like watching your house burn. You know, you are standing back and its burning. There is nothing you can do. You know, i have lost some friends over there that tour and was a very rough tour. And, you know, i just kind of i have talked to a lot of different guys thats
been there around the same time. Its just hard to watch. How about you, steph . It is very difficult. Freedom is very precious and when you are on this side of it you understand it more and more. Its a little troubling. A little makes me a little bit angry but, you know, in the back of my mind, i guess, you know, you just kind of know it could happen. You know what i mean . Like i said, its a little bit frustrating to me. I just deal with it. You know, we did so much to help them and they didnt want us to stay. They wanted us out. Now, when its all fall apart, they want us back. And, you know, it be sort of breaks your heart, you know, because once bitable, do you want to be bit twice . You know, how much is enough . President obama plans to end the combat mission in
afghanistan this december. But a recent insider attack murdered an american two star general worrying many that the u. S. Is leaving afghanistan vulnerable to extremists. Militants waiting to cause the kind of chaos and violence now seen in iraq. Islamist fanatics are there. As you know the statistics are are and the polls are are that these numbers are growing worldwide. The world terror is not finished. There is going to be more increase. There is going to be more suffering on our part. And we need to pray for our military. We need to pray for our leaders and pray for these young men and women who defend our freedom. From the astros cities of war to dealing with injuries back home, these brave patriots and their spouses face an uphill battle. I wanted to just leave the whole situation and get on with their life.

So planning for the worst but got the best. You know, you never want to lose something that you love so much and it took a lot for me to realize that she does want to be there. She does want to help me. She is the love of my life. Is this week a good jump start for you . Do you think this is going
to really change your lives . This is definitely changing our lives. We both had pushed ourselves away from friends, family and god for so long. And just its been amazing. We have reconnected. Why are making wonderful wonderful friends that i he know we are going to have for life. And we recommitted ourselves to jesus christ as night as well. I want these couples it know that life does go on and that were going to stand behind them. One of the things we try to do, greta, is after the soldier and his spouse have come. When they get back home, is to follow through with them. We have chaplains that call them, you know, how are you . How are the kids . You have been home now a couple of months. How is it going . Its very nice to see that its not a catch and release program. They follow through and they stay with you. They dont think of themselves as heroes. And they see other people say well, that guy has got it worse than i have got it and a they dont want pity. They dont want you to feel sorry for them. Chuck was happy just to, you know, do it on his own. Proud of guys like that. And you want to do more for them. Military life is tough, isnt it . It is. Do you regret it . No. Do you regret it . No, maam. Im a first generation american. Parents came from cuba. And i am very proud to be an american. I would do it again. Somebody has got to make the sacrifice. Years ago when i took over samaritans purse, a man by the name of bob pierce who founded it i said bob, how do you choose who you can help and how cant help in life . He said franklin, can you cannot help everybody, but god will bring across your path those that you can
help. And god will hold you responsible for those that he brings across your path. What they give you here is the most important thing any wounded person is you can give them that short time of being normal like everybody else again. It doesnt matter what you look like or how you are hurt same as everybody else. God has interseconded our lives. He he wants us to love them and care for them. Thats what he will do. And god loves each and every one of us and i want them to know that and i want them to know that we love them, too
