Who’s Helping Our Wounded Vets?
Thursday, February 11, 2010
The Pentagon estimates that as many as one in five American soldiers are coming home from war zones with traumatic brain injuries, many of which require round-the-clock attention. But lost in the reports of these returning soldiers are the stories of family members who often sacrifice everything to care for them.
One of our VMFC members, Mike Turner, who is also the Chief of Congressional Affairs with the Wounded Warrior Project helped to write Senate Bill 1963 – Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2009, which is featured in the video above. Any help from VMFC members by emailing their Representatives and Senators would be greatly appreciated by Mike. He can be reached at chairman@loudoundemocrats.org.
