McDONOUGH — A film called “Wartorn 1861-2010” did more than entertain Marine and Army veteran Bob VanDunk.
The documentary cast light on the war raging inside of him. The enemy inside him was fear, sadness, anger and depression, which altered his personality in ways he didn’t recognize until being presented with other veterans’ stories of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The movie told the personal stories of soldiers “whose live and psyches were torn asunder by the horrors of battle and PTSD.”
