H.R.396 TBI Treatment Act
Called2serve
August 08, 2012
I support H.R. 396: TBI Treatment Act because I work with combat warriors suffering from PTSD and TBI and their families. My husband is a B-2 pilot and together we have served this country for 24 years. The HBOT success stories that are healing our fellow warriors are overwhelming. Why would our government not support those who are sacrificing their all: their physical bodies, minds, and their families in service to this country and our freedom? We need to protect those protecting us.
