Storytelling program created by actor Tom Skerritt helps veterans returning home
CBSN
Actor Tom Skerritt understands first-hand how storytelling could help U.S. veterans returning home after their military service.
The 90-year-old Hollywood actor – whose appearance in 1962's "War Hunt" led to roles in "M*A*S*H*", "Top Gun" and others – served four years in the Air Force.
In 2012, Skerritt met Evan Baily, who had recently returned stateside after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Together, they worked to pitch the Red Badge Project, which helps veterans work through their issues like post-traumatic stress disorder and re-assimilate into civilian life through storytelling.

Washington — The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the Trump administration to deport a group of migrants with criminal records held at a U.S. naval base in Djibouti, clarifying the scope of its earlier order that lifted restrictions on removals to countries that are not deportees' places of origin.
