“5 Facts about Veterans and How You Can Help”
by Danny Fisher
Over at The Huffington Post, Victoria Fine has an excellent piece in honor of Veteran’s Day: “5 Facts about Veterans and How You Can Help”. Follow the link to read the piece in full. I think that the five facts are worth reprinting here, though:
- 260,000 veterans will be homeless this year.
- 65,000 Veterans have recorded their individual war stories at the Library of Congress’ American Folklife Center.
- As many as 35 percent of Iraq Veterans have or will experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The NIMH defines PTSD as “an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened.” People who have PTSD have persistent frightening thoughts and memories, can feel emotionally numb and can have trouble sleeping or being startled easily.
- There are more than 5.5 million U.S. veterans living with a disability.
- 184,251 troops are currently on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the Pentagon.

You know, your mobile site is exiquisite, but this kinda looks very Web 1.0, save for picture & videos.
Maybe you had to trade off one for the other?
Anyway, good fortune to you.
Thanks, Mumon. Yeah, I was trying to figure something out based on some feedback I was getting about the old theme(s), and it just seemed like the simpler the better. This one is very basic, but very intuitive, I think–everything is apparent and where it ought to be. I’m still on the lookout for an attractive and easily navigable theme, though! : )
