I have been summoned to explore a desert area of the human heart in
which explanations no longer suffice, and in which one learns that
only experience counts. An arid, rock, dark land of the soul,
sometimes illuminated by strange fires which people fear and peopled
by specters which people studiously avoid except in their nightmares.
And in the area I have learned that one cannot truly know hope unless
one has found out how like despair hope is. ~ Thomas Merton

There are about 23.8 million living veterans, 7.5% of whom are women.
There are about 37 million dependents (spouses and dependent children)
of living veterans and survivors of deceased veterans. Together they
represent 20% of the US population. ~ US Department for Veterans
Affairs
