Silver Cross Mother lost both her sons to PTSD after serving in Afghanistan

Maureen Anderson remembers when her two sons – Ron and Ryan – were about to ship off to Afghanistan in 2007. The military men had been to global hot spots before and both were embarking on their second tour in Afghanistan. This time, they were leaving together.They were at CFB Gagetown in New Brunswick, the second-largest military base in the country.“We’re all gathered in the big drill hall, saying goodbye. All the wives, you know,” Ms. Anderson said with an East Coast lilt. “And at the back, where you went through the very, very back door, the buses were waiting for them to take them away.”
