"Troubled Minds and Purple Hearts" Tyler Boudreau's editorial in the New York Times
Monday, January 26, 2009 at 04:04AM The issues of Combat stress and Traumatic Brain Injury loom large for many of the people who have served in the military in the current wars. This editorial explores the issue of how to recognize what these men and women have sacrificed.
Combat Stress ad Traumatic brain Injury from Iraq and Afghanistan are two issues which will be with our society for the lives of this generation.
Tyler has been incredibly active and vocal about Veteran's issues, he is a provocative writer who is getting a good deal of recognition, and he has been keeping in touch with me and letting me know about his work.
I highly recommend his book "Packin Inferno" and I recommend checking out his "Other Side Bike Tour" which you can get more information about at tylerboudreau.com
As a note, I would like to showcase the work that everyone in the 100 Faces project is doing. If you are one of the people from the 100 Faces project and want me to post information about what you are up to, drop me a line!
Congratulations to Tyler on bringing thoughtful discussion to the mainstream media regarding the question of how to provide recognition for those who are living with combat stress.
