The need is indeed far greater than the military or the VA can meet. Geoff Souther Dr. Lee,

I am delighted to see your challenge to colleagues and your invitation to serve a veteran and or their family. The need is indeed far greater than the military or the VA can meet.

I believe the one major injury-and crime-the military and VA wants to have a dissappearing act is MST...military sexual trauma! I am so fiercely angry at the system that allowed it to happen to me-repeatedly...and told me to get used to it-then years later tells me to fight it and when I began my fight the veterans affairs advocate makes it just as if it happened again-he used bigoted remarks that would have never been said if I kept my mouth shut and 'got used to it'!! God bless you for your offer to aid veterans-you are a grand individual.
