Gillibrand, Kelly Fitzpatrick, Gary Smith, Meeting Today

Democrat US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand will be in Corning today with Steuben County Legislative Chair Kelly Fitzpatrick, VFW Chair Ann Marie Hogancamp, and Steuben County Veterans Service Agency Director Gary Smith.  Gillibrand says they’ll be addressing the issue of veterans head trauma and the senator’s legislative work on this issue.  "Service members who regularly fire heavy weapons are at increased risk of brain injury as a result of repeated exposure to explosions or blasts from their own weapons and explosives - otherwise known as blast overpressure. These brain injuries can cause depression, anxiety, cognitive problems, hallucinations, panic attacks, violent outbursts, suicidal tendencies, psychiatric disorders, dementia, and a variety of other serious health problems. At least a dozen Navy SEALs who have died by suicide over the past decade were later found to have suffered blast injuries," Gillibrand stated.  The senator is calling for more research and better treatment for those affected."
