Former Army Pfc. Herold Noel had nowhere to call home after returning from Iraq last year. He slept in his Jeep, parked anywhere in New York “where I wouldn’t get a ticket.”
“Then the nightmares would start,” said the 26-year-old, who drove a military fuel truck in Iraq — one of the war’s most dangerous jobs.
At one point, he saw a friend’s leg get blown off. “I saw a baby decapitated when it was run over by a truck. I relived that every night,” said Noel, who walks with shrapnel in his knee and suffers from severe post-traumatic stress syndrome.
