"WELCOME HOME: THE STORY OF SCOTT OSTROM

Scott looks over his military service records and weeps after being told his apartment application had been turned down. The leasing manager said he couldn't allow Scott to move in because of an assault charge on his background check. Though Scott had his honorable discharge papers and his good-conduct medal, Scott said they meant nothing. "I'm not a criminal. You would think this would be worth something. It should be. It's not, though."
