Hey all,
We are trying to get the word out across America with a new documentary about what veterans go through after they come back. We're now looking for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan who have interesting stories from the homefront. This could mean anything from overcoming an injury to struggling financially, from overmedication to overcoming PTSD, and anything else that shows the sacrifice you guys make for us.
We've already done a bunch of episodes you can check out at InTheirBoots.com, it's a nonpartisan series whose only goal is to get attention to your cause.
Can't wait to hear from you. Let me know if you have any questions.

A Veterans Documentary Wants Oef/oif Veterans
in VA Disability Claims Research

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I couldn't agree more -- vets from all our wars need the same attention, and I don't discriminate. There have been some great documentaries in the past about Vietnam vets, but our show is about the effects of Iraq and Afghanistan, because the average American sees the sacrifices these guys make abroad on the nightly news, but don't pay attention to what they have to go through when they get back.
We are telling their stories and hope to garner attention and support for veterans' causes, which I think is in all your interests. We are even funded by veterans' orgs. You can check out some stories we've done at InTheirBoots.com.
Again, if anyone knows an OEF/OIF veteran or family with an important story to tell, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks
Steve
