Today, Veterans for Common Sense, along with 14 other veterans and military service organization co-hosts, held a Capitol Hill Forum on Gulf War Illness.
The forum included Gulf War Illness researchers and clinicians funded by the Gulf War Illness CDMRP and included a Q&A period during the last 30 minutes.
The recorded video of the event was made immediately available on the INIM YouTube channel, here:
