    I am glad I discovered your website! I thought you and your readers might be interested in IssueLab’s new collection of research on veteran health. It’s all by nonprofit and University researchers and touches on issues like PTSD and traumatic brain injury (a common injury for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans) and new evidence that they interact with each other; homelessness; why veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan are particularly experiencing challenges that veterans from past wars have not, etc. You can check out our May CloseUp on veteran health here– http://www.issuelab.org/closeup

    Thanks!
