TAMPA - Wounded troops and Veterans Administration officials gathered at Tampa's VA hospital today to see the latest addition to its unit for men and women with traumatic injuries from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The new building contains apartments for injured troops who no longer need to be hospitalized but aren't ready to live on their own.

It's the first facility of its kind in the VA system, said Steven Scott, director of the Polytrauma Rehabilitation Center at the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital.

"This is a great occasion, everybody. We should all be proud," said Scott, who doubles as Haley's chief of physical medicine and rehabilitation services.
