Diane Gifford, LCDR, USN, Ret.
I strongly support passage of this bill and also wish it would incorporate PTSD. I know of returning Veterans from Iraq who are unable to function, i.e., work and relate meaningfully to their loved ones, who have developed PTSD from being in combat in Iraq. Yes, I do support any legislation that helps Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury. I also hope that additional legislation can be passed to help those with PTSD. I am a disabled Veteran myself. I have used several VA hospitals and I could write a book about my observations and experiences there. Please help our disabled Veterans get the help they deserve for all their conditions.
thanks,
Diane M. Gifford
