In addition to this, TBI is the “signature injury” of the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts and is responsible for bringing thousands of new cases of TBI home to Ohio.

Does it all matter and can we make a difference? In a movement that often finds itself divided, how do we unite under one banner and have our voices heard by those in power?
