MORGANTOWN -- Veterans face numerous challenges when it comes to settling back into their civilian communities, but one thing veterans like Thomas Pierce know is how to be on time.
“We’d get in trouble for showing up five minutes late. We had to be 15 minutes prior. And then they changed that to 30 minutes prior because we had to be 15 minutes prior to 15 minutes prior.”
