Veterans for America's Wounded Warrior Registry

[sonias]

I'm going to cross-post something I just read about on BOR because I think this is very important and we need to help get the word out. I know some of my extended family members in the valley need to know about this. Maybe some of you know someone who might need this information too.

Do You Know A Servicemember Who Needs Help Getting Treatment?

Around the United States, including here in Texas (home to four Army bases and eight Air Force bases), we see that the military is overwhelmed as it tries to assist servicemembers.

Here at Veterans For America, where I am proud to be Director of Policy, we are determined to do something to help the men and women who have served us. Part of our efforts include our easy-to-use registry that will help us get you the help you need (or help for someone you know).

Please click here to register with Veterans for America's Wounded Warrior Registry.

If you or someone you know needs help, we will work to make sure that you get it -- it's as simple as that. We will answer every single request we get. Sometimes it can be just knowing how to fight through the bureaucracy and get the mental health appointment you need or it might be how to get your family counseling.

Please let us help you or someone you know get the help you need and deserve.

Veterans For America was founded over thirty years ago by Bobby Muller, who was paralyzed by a bullet in Vietnam while leading a Marine patrol. Originally named the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, VFA now works all across the country, focusing on the high rates of mental health problems and mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) as a result of our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This Wounded Warrior Registry will help us determine how many military men and women need help and what is the best way to get them that help.

We also have recently published online "The American Veterans And Servicemembers Survival Guide." Available free to all as a download, it is a great resource for veterans and servicemembers alike.
