Navy veteran Jennifer Badger enlisted in 2001, was deployed to the Persian Gulf in 2002 and came home with post-traumatic stress.
After years battling addiction and homelessness, she found a refuge at the recently opened Guardian Hills Veterans Healing Center north of Columbia.
She calls it “a different type of healing” where veterans can spend a week in a peaceful setting recovering from the physical and psychological damage of combat.
