Thousands Of Vets Are Still Waiting For Health Benefits

 

Hundreds Of Thousands Of War Vets Still Waiting For Health Benefits -- CNN Phoenix 

(CNN) -- Mike Rioux can't go to the grocery store without making a list, even for a single item. He can't drive without gripping the steering wheel so hard his knuckles turn white. And he can't stand any longer than 30 minutes because of severe back pain. This is Rioux's life after Afghanistan, where firefights and a roadside bomb blast left him with a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. 


My Comment: Heartbreaking .... and a situation that our injured vets certainly do not deserve to be in.
