This is today's Great Falls Tribune in Montana; click on the image for a bigger view. Projects Editor Eric Newhouse (right), who won a Pulitzer Prize in 2000 for his series about alcohol abuse, writes today about a former Army Ranger in West Virginia who helped rescue Pfc. Jessica Lynch from Iraqi insurgents.The soldier, Danny Reed, struggled to adjust to civilian life after three years of combat, leading to an incident a year ago in Great Falls that spurred today's story. I like Newhouse's lede: "Federal Magistrate Keith Strong's decision a year ago to offer help instead of punishment may have saved the life of Danny Ray Reed II, an ex-special forces soldier with post-traumatic stress disorder who hit rock bottom at about 20,000 feet in the air."
