Description: "Steve Reay spent 30 years compiling the material for this book from his experiences working at the Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital in Sheridan, Wyoming. HIs military service in Vietnam together with his love of sports was the catalyst for a career in recreation therapy serving the needs of physically and psychologically disabled veterans. He worked alongside many doctors, nurses and hospital staff treating wounded, traumatized or often just lonely veterans. He observed their dedication and caring spirit as they ministered to hundreds of combat-impacted patients."--Cover p. 4.
