BELLEVILLE --In a sense, the first chapter of James Sperry's return home for good is set to begin this afternoon.
That's when Sperry, 22, plans to drive south from his parents' west Belleville house to the Jefferson Barracks V.A. Medical Center in south St. Louis County.
There, on the hospital's sprawling campus overlooking the Mississippi River, he will walk into a plain, three-story structure known as Building No. 50.
On the second-floor, the ex-Marine lance corporal will have his first meeting with counselors at the hospital's newly opened clinic for Iraq War veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.
