HOUSTON—Paul Schroeder and Robert Nuttal are decorated soldiers who both served on the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan.

But even though they’re long retired, they’re still haunted by the battlefield.

"People say, ‘Well, when did you get back from Iraq?’ I got back last night – it was in my dreams," Schroeder said. "The smells are the worst, but it’s also the noise and the sheer chaos."

They saw things overseas that they can’t forget.

Guilt is just one of the problems Nuttal and Schroeder have struggled with after returning home.
