Local veteran opens up on Veterans Day: 'There is an awful lot of hard, bitter training'

Brian Halstead is a local veteran who served over 20 years in the service and did three tours in Afghanistan. But he managed to use those tough memories to launch a tool to help other veterans. It was a family tradition—Brian's grandfather, brothers, and son all served in the army. "There’s an awful lot of hard, bitter training that you don’t tell those stories at Thanksgiving," Halstead said.
