Today's Hero is Tuff, Warrior Gene, Veterans Homelessness Declines, Insomnia App

Do you have the Warrior Gene?  Are you more prone to taking risks, being angry, or being an aggressive driver?  While having a gene does not excuse bad behavior, it may be worth reflection on the why behind it – see more at: http://intentblog.com/3-ways-to-overcome-angers-pervasive-nature/

The good news: a 17% drop in Veterans’ homelessness rate.  The bad news: There’s still 62,619 more homeless Veterans out there.  Along with many other non-profit and government programs, VA & HUD have new initiatives that may help with housing and clinical services, read more at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/federal-eye/wp/2013/08/21/va-and-hud-announce-funding-for-homeless-veterans/

Insomnia?  There’s an app for that.  An estimated 75% of Veterans suffer from occasional insomnia (the numbers are much fewer for the general population.) No kidding about the app; see it at: http://www.blogs.va.gov/VAntage/10086/trouble-sleeping-va-has-an-app-for-that/
