Kyle Evans returned from war after two tours in Iraq with a traumatic brain injury, bad back, Purple Heart and Bronze Star. He also had a newborn son and no way to support him.
In some ways, he was more fortunate than most.
“I had what was called an Army wounded warrior advocate — somebody who was supposed to guide me through the system — which a lot of guys don’t have,” said Evans, 32, an Orlando resident who retired from the military in 2010. “But it was still really frustrating.
