The vets include Craig, who settles down with his wife, Lisa. Kristy is their outspoken, determined daughter. Although she once had a strong faith, she lost it while in college. She couldn't even pray for loved ones, including her severely ill mother, her father who ended up in jail, and her war correspondent boyfriend, Tim, who was captured by the Taliban.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vets take on causes including trying to protect an iconic cross that has stood on a hill in the San Francisco Bay area for years.
