Vail Veterans Program unites caregivers of injured combat vets

VAIL — Imagine walking into a room with two dozen best friends whom you’ve just met.

That’s life this week for a Vail Veterans Program Caregivers Reunion — all caregivers for combat veterans who were injured in Iraq or Afghanistan. Just as heroic as those soldiers are the people who take care of them.

Their stories are as different as they are, yet they have so much in common, beginning with noble and towering sacrifice.
