I believe there is. I think there's more we can do on that. Don't forget, if we study PTSD and mental health, that information will be made available to first responders. We share information. My first career was as a paramedic first responder. We can help more people than veterans. But I think there is more we can do—because science advances in early determination, early detection, how to treat it, what works, what doesn't work—to make sure the veteran gets to what we like to call the “new normal” as early as possible. Maybe they'll never be able to work again, but at least we can take care of them.
