A Moving Documentary: Homecoming

Meet Kim Roy of Yelm, Wash. She's an intrepid Army wife with two boys, Danny, 2, and Maddox, less than a year old. While her husband, Justin, is on his second deployment -- this time in Afghanistan -- she's raising two energetic sons by herself.

He's been gone for 15 months and the longer he's gone, the more Kim lives for those mid-day phone calls and instant messenger sessions with her husband. And though she's looking forward to Justin coming home, she knows there'll be some adjustment as he re-learns how to be a father. Watch Kim's story, courtesy of In Their Boots.com:

 

In Their Boots is a documentary series about the impact the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are having on people here at home. Now in its second season, every episode is a compelling original story about how America’s service members, their families, and our communities have been profoundly changed by our nation's campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan. All stories focus on the individual and collective experiences of our men and women in uniform returning from serving our nation.

These are told from a non-ideological, non-partisan perspective, and strictly avoid editorializing about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Their Boots is funded by a generous grant from the Iraq Afghanistan Deployment Impact Fund (IADIF), a private fund administered by The California Community Foundation, and is produced by Brave New Foundation.
