When soldiers return home from war, many cope with the aftermath of traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress. But it's not just the soldier who suffers, parents, especially mothers, who have given up everything -- their jobs, retirement savings, and plans for the future - often step in and care for their wounded children. On Memorial Day, we share a Public Radio Exchange program Picking Up the Pieces. The Sound of Ideas returns Tuesday with staycations - the low cost alternative to long-distance vacation travel.
