"One of the most important aspects of this project will be not just to examine the reintegration process for veterans, but also to look at how families are dealing with re-entry," associate producer Kem Poston wrote in an email to Patch. "We would very much like to find a military spouse who is expecting his or her partner to return from serving in Afghanistan this summer, who would be willing to speak with us about possibly participating in our series."

If you would like to be considered for participation in the documentary, contact Kem Poston, associate producer, at 617-284-2840, or email kposton@powderhouse.net.
