"1 never served in the armed forces, but 1 had four brothers who did and my Dad was in the military. so I feel like a military brat This has given me a real understanding and sympathy for the experiences and challenges veterans face " Though he has enjoyed his work with veterans' affairs, Locklear wastes no time in pointing out that the program has also been the most troubling program he has been associated with.
