There are currently more than 350 non-profit organizations nationwide dedicated to providing support for military members and their families. Brian Feser of the Wounded Warrior Project tells us what one of these organizations is doing for our vets.
When a soldier is wounded, the entire family suffers. Gail Ulerie shares her struggle to care for her son after he was severely injured in Iraq.
Congressman Bob Filner (D-CA) tells us wounded soldiers are increasingly turning to loved ones for care. How is the U.S. Congress offering legislation to help these caregivers?
Hospitals like Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. are transforming the care they offer in response to the growing need of returning vets. Col. Norvell Coots, Commander, Walter Reed Health Care System, discusses how the hospital is responding to the physical and psychological wounds of wounded soldiers.
