"WELCOME HOME: THE STORY OF SCOTT OSTROM

Scott says he is deeply concerned about his health and his future. Down 45 pounds from his normal weight -- Scott says his appetite and stress are directly related. He said he was anxious to explore a residential PTSD program at the VA Medical Center. "I have to, or I'm gonna end up on the street talking to myself," he said. "We're ending the war in Iraq, so 40,000 more troops are coming home. That means a lot of PTSD and a lot of homeless people. I figure I better get the tools I need to live a peaceful and gratifying life. ... I'm a good person."
