I had a big anniversary last week. April 1 marked the end of 2 full years I've spent at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Reforming the disability system that keeps us hanging around for no reason - a system so complex that it's all but impossible for soldiers to navigate - is going to take longer than renovating Building 18.
