The government has reached out to thousands of veterans, notified veterans’ services offices in all 50 states about the potential injuries, and created a website for veterans and health care providers, with the latest research on blast exposure and a fact sheet on how to recognize the brain injuries that can result. The moves came in response to reporting by The New York Times that detailed brain injuries that troops have experienced from intensive weapons fire.
