PBS Now Will Air Program on Chronic Conditions of Returning Soldiers and Their Caregivers

The Pentagon estimates that as many as one in five American soldiers are coming home from war zones with traumatic brain injuries, many of which require round-the-clock attention. But lost in the reports of these returning soldiers are the stories of family members who often sacrifice everything to care for them. On Friday, November 20 (check local listings for channel and time), NOW reveals how little has been done to help these family caregivers, and reports on dedicated efforts to support them.
