Support veterans who supported their country and were left with damage because of it.

Since being an 11C I've had re-occuring headaches, dizziness at times and trouble finding the most basic words. My hearing has gone down 30 points to Army standards and I've only been in the Army for a year and a half.

I was told I had low frequency tone deafness when I got out. But it wasn’t enough to make any claims my hearing has declined and tinnitus occurs regularly. I thoroughly believe it is from firing heavy mech mortars for my 4 yrs.

Anyone who doesn't believe blast overpressure hurts your head should be tied to a stake next to a mortar during a live fire exercise. I guarantee it will change their mind.

Been a 120 mortar for 3 years, can 100% feel the concussion effects after a day of firing.
