Rochester War Vets... speak out on treatment

Submitted by Minnesota Publi... on Sat, 2007-03-10 21:20.

Stories have surfaced of Iraqi veterans having to navigate a bureaucratic maze only to receive inadequate care at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C.

We've also heard stories of National Guard families facing financial hardship due to their service.

All of this has Minnesota Public Radio news wondering: To what extent are veterans getting the help they need to adjust to life at home after war?

Help us better understand this and related issues by sharing your stories and insights with MPR News. Just click here and fill out a brief survey form.

Are veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan getting adequate treatment at Walter Reed? Are they getting decent care at our local veterans medical facilities? Or are they being left to fend for themselves?

Help MPR News tell the story of the way vets and their families are being treated.
