  1. At a GAFDI (Greater Austin Forum for Diversity & Inclusion) meeting last year a presenter shared that there’s an additional 30,000 people that were not counted in these totals because they were soldiers not yet returned from “active duty” in the military (they were still deployed and in an overseas hospital) but were already disabled at the time this information was gathered.
     
    The presenter also pointed out that there are:
    – more younger (18-35) men with disabilities than older men
    – more older women with disabilities than younger women
