KOOP’s series Boots On The Air continues Monday, November 10 at 1:00pm (1300 hrs) USA central / GMT -6. Join US Army vets Michael A. Brown and Perry Jefferies and KOOP’s Greg Ciotti for lots of goings-on, starting with VA mental health providers claiming they are under increasing pressure to limit veterans’ care. War Horse reporter Leah Rosenbaum is with us for that story … veterans of Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield who suffer from Gulf War illness finally can get treatment for it now that Uncle Sam officially recognizes the disease … we’ll explore the delays in resolving veterans’ discharge upgrade cases … there’s a new VA Health Center coming to Round Rock … you’ll hear a feature by the American Statesman’s Bridget Grumet about an Austin veteran’s efforts to reinvigorate POW/MIA Recognition Day … and there’s a good news report from We the Veterans about vets leading the way in community volunteering. Julie Hendricks from We the Veterans and principal writer Chris Marvin are with us.
