Tags: Israel, IDF, Veterans

Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for February 11, 2008.

A group of Israel Defense Forces veterans experiencing post-traumatic stress symptoms go sailing every week in a Defense Ministry rehabilitation project.

One of the shell-shocked veterans is Uri Lerner, who rescued under fire seven of his comrades after his unit was hit by an anti-tank missile during the Second Lebanon War.
