"All they want is is to be made back to where they were. They don't want, they don't want anything more than to be able to have the American dream, which we all want, and we're able to give that to them. And that is probably, I can't think of anything that's more rewarding."

STORYLINE:
A Florida organization is helping veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental and physical ailments get back into the civilian world.
The Boca Raton-based Grey Team has worked with more than 700 veterans since its founding seven years ago.
The center uses a 90-day program of exercise and high-tech machines to help the veterans.
Co-founder Cary Reichbach says the center is performing magic.
Several of his clients agreed, saying they feel better both mentally and physically.
Fred Kalfon began exercising at the center a couple months ago.
Parkinson's disease, an inner ear disorder and other neurological problems, all likely caused by the Vietnam vet's exposure to the infamous defoliant Agent Orange, made it difficult for him to move.
His post-traumatic stress disorder, centering on the execution of a woman who helped his platoon, was at its worst.
After months in the program, the retired pharmaceutical researcher and sales manager is socializing and has thrown aside his walker for a cane.
One expert in veterans health is skeptical of the program, particularly the high-tech machines.
