For those coming home injured, we’re continuing to direct unprecedented support to our wounded warriors in uniform -- more treatment centers, more case managers -- delivering the absolute best care available.  For those who can, we want to help them get back to where they want to be -- with their units.  And that includes service members with a disability, who still have so much to offer our military. 

We’re directing unprecedented resources to treating the signature wounds of today’s wars -- traumatic brain injury and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.  (Applause.)  And I recently signed into law the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act.  That’s a long name, but let me tell you what it does.  It not only improves treatment for traumatic brain injury and PTSD, it gives new support to many of the caregivers who put their own lives on hold to care for their loved one.  (Applause.)

And as so many of you know, PTSD is a pain like no other -- the nightmares that keep coming back, the rage that strikes suddenly, the hopelessness that’s led too many of our troops and veterans to take their own lives.  So today, I want to say in very personal terms to anyone who is struggling -- don’t suffer in silence.  It’s not a sign of weakness to reach out for support -- it’s a sign of strength.  Your country needs you.  We are here for you.  We are here to help you stand tall.  Don’t give up.  Reach out.  (Applause.)

We’re making major investments in awareness, outreach, and suicide prevention -- hiring more mental health professionals, improving care and treatment.  For those of you suffering from PTSD, we’re making it a whole lot easier to qualify for VA benefits.  From now on, if a VA doctor confirms a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, that is enough -- no matter what war you served in.  (Applause.)

These are the commitments my administration has made.  These are the promises we’ve worked to keep.  This is the sacred trust we have pledged to uphold -- to you and all who serve. 

I want to make special mention of a truly inspiring American, Staff Sergeant Cory Remsburg.  He was at Bethesda during one of my periodic visits to see our wounded warriors.  And as I walked into his room, I saw a picture on the wall -- and it was a picture of the two of us together.  See, I had met Cory before, back at the D-Day anniversary in Normandy.  A good looking young man, a proud Army Ranger, he had joined in a reenactment of that historic paratroop jump. 
    
Then soon after, Cory served on his 10th deployment since 9/11 -- that’s right, his 10th deployment.  And that’s when an IED nearly took his life.  The traumatic brain injury was severe.  Cory was in a coma for months.  It seemed possible that he would never wake up.

But then something happened.  His doctors still can’t explain it.  His parents called it a miracle.  Cory opened one of his eyes.  Then a few weeks later, he moved a leg.  Then he moved an arm.
 
And there at Bethesda, we were meeting again.  And Cory still couldn’t speak.  But he looked me in the eye.  He lifted his arm and he shook my hand firmly.  And when I asked how he was feeling, he held up his hand, pulled his fingers together and gave a thumbs up.  (Applause.)

Today, Cory is at a VA hospital in Florida.  And with the support of his family and VA staff, he’s working hard every day to regain his strength.  He’s got to learn to speak all over again.  He’s grateful for the visits he’s received from friends and supporters -- including the Disabled American Veterans.  (Applause.)  

And Cory is only 27 years old.  He knows he’s got a long and very hard road ahead.  But he pushes on, and he’s determined to get back to his fellow Rangers.  And when someone at the hospital said, “Cory, you’re going to walk out of here someday,” he said “No, I’m going to run out of here.”  (Laughter and applause.)

So to Staff Sergeant Cory Remsburg, to the Disabled American Veterans -- I want to say to all of you, you are the very essence of America, the values that sustain us as a people, and the virtues our nation needs most right now.  And the resilience that, in the face of great loss, so many of you experienced, I know you, like Cory, know what it means to pick yourselves up and keep pushing on.
