Soldiers fight for us daily, but we forget about them

New York City, New York (JusticeNewsFlash.com – News Report) – War movies, old and new, expose the danger that comes with fighting a war. Massive explosions complete with pieces of shrapnel leave burns, internal injuries and missing limbs, and when they get home, the wounds seem to appear in other areas - headaches, dizzy spells, persistent ringing in the ears and numbness parts of the body – just to mention a few.

Former Staff Sergeant Kevin Owsley, a 47-year-old Indiana reservist who served as a gunner for a year outside Baghdad beginning in March 2004. Now back home, Mr. Owsley and many other war veterans are dealing with the aftermath of the blasts, but are oftentimes overlooked by medical professionals. Since there is no visible wound, it is ‘easy to dismiss, simple to misdiagnose and difficult to detect.’ Even their CT scans do not report any damage, but the consequences are outstanding, for their injuries lead to financial problems, unemployment, divorce and mental health problems. Never mind the forgetfulness, need for a hearing aide and the nightmares.
