LOL. what exactly is "Military Culture Neurological Issues Post Traumatic Stress Suicide Prevention Traumatic Brain Injury Reintegration Issues. If someone is suffering from this illness how in the world would anyone expect them to pay $40 for a registration, especially if they are homeless. Just more political correct bullshit.

The summit is not for the people with the problems. It's for those in the professions that deal with it. 8:10 you need to learn to read before you comment. Also the many disorders that soldiers suffer from are no laughing matter. Your lol just shows your ignorance.
