When sea-going Marine Bill Lentsch was rescued from the shark-infested waters during the battle of Guadalcanal, his body was a "mangled mess". For him, the war was over ... but the battles were just beginning. This is the story of a wounded warrior's battle with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness ... of the pain and frustrations of rehab and reemployment ... of a bad marriage ... of some bad decisions ... including buying a gun and plans to use it. But it's also the story of hope and inspiration. Bill shares the story of his personal journey in order that veterans of future conflicts, as well as those returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, might likewise take courage and find hope in their personal battles with life. Bill discovered: there is help and there is "Hope for Wounded Warriors."
