Summary
Semi-structured interviews were completed with 12 Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans regarding how they made meaning of their traumatic experiences and how they defined their identity after experiencing combat. Veterans tended to make meaning in group settings with other Veterans who experienced the same event, which helped to reduce symptoms related to traumatic stress.
