Coming home from a military deployment is something that should be filled with joy and excitement. Initially, it is wonderful. But for many Reservists, the challenges begin when they return home and try to find their places back in a life they left months ago.

Army Reserve Specialist Matt Frakes opens up about his recent deployment to the Middle East and the challenges he has faced since he returned home. 

Raised by a single mom, he exudes a sense of responsibility, planning, and purpose that would put even the top business minds to shame. Last year he stepped away from his successful and growing career to fulfill a commitment with the Army Reserve. 

In this episode of "When Sacrifice Calls," host Lesley Lykins asks Matt how he is doing after returning home. His answers very clearly showcase his patience, grit, and willingness to sacrifice.
