Thought for the Day – Brian Castner

Michael Anthony

Today’s thought for the day comes from the ending of Brian Castner’s memoir The Long Walk: A Story of War and the Life That Follows. Castner’s story is about his service overseas as an EOD tech and his, somewhat troubling, return home–or as he calls it “The Crazy.” It’s a good book that I think a lot of veterans will connect with. Not to spoil the ending, but the above quote is from the end and can give you a little peek into the journey that Castner takes from experiencing “The Crazy,” to experiencing “The Om.”
