NPR - July 10, 2009 · One out of every five U.S. soldiers reports coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan with mild traumatic brain injury, also known as TBI. Roadside bombs and Humvee wrecks are often to blame.
TBI symptoms can be hard to identify, but Army doctors are finding more cases because of baseline testing that began two years ago. Early detection is helping more soldiers heal instead of suffering in silence.
Six months ago, after a Humvee rollover in Iraq, Staff Sgt. Clifford Lee forgot that he was married and that he had kids. Now he has been cleared to return to duty.

The demands here seem right on target. However, I would like to read the text of the the UR-Peaceful Investing Initiative" and learn about its history. Also, I'd like to see an humanitarian aid for Gaza campaign in my area (Ithaca and environs), and would like suggestions on which groups/aid agencies we should look at. The twinning with Gaza University and scholarships for Palestinian students are splendid, positive, and practical demands that forge and carry forward a relationship. If it takes a building occupation to bring serious action on these demands, then so be it. I hope the support broadens and this serves as a model on other campuses as well.
