Today a new battle is being fought for our service members and their families. This battle is to help those suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and help integrate them back into society. The Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association of Northern Virginia, Chapter 27-2 are veterans helping veterans. In addition to PTSD, the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have uncovered a new injury called Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). TBI is a source of morbidity in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. This injury is so subtle that often it does not present itself until years after the veteran returns home. These brave men and women have laid their lives on the line to maintain freedom and now need help for them and their families to deal with the issues of PTSD and TBI.
