Shalala, was tasked with completing a comprehensive review of the military’s healthcare system by the end of July. After eight public meetings, 23 site visits to military and VA centers across the nation, 50 briefings by medical experts and agency officials, and the completion of a first-of-its-kind survey of injured service members, the commission approved six recommendations that make sweeping changes in the delivery of military health care and services.

Ramos and Giammatteo, as well as Tammy’s husband, Chris Edwards, were both wounded in Iraq. The video can be viewed at www.youtube.com.
