But Ostrom had something to celebrate, as well: The Iraq war vet had just learned that the Department of Veterans Affairs finally officially recognized his PTSD, which was at the center of Walker's award-winning project, called "Welcome Home." "This story has definitely saved at least one guy's life so far," Ostrom says. [styleblog]
