Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, sufferedmlb baseball jerseys two TBIs from separate explosions in Afghanistan. He found common ground with football players, many of whom suffered their share of brain injuries on the field, like NFL Hall of Famer Warren Moon.

“I think the long-range effects of what these brain injuries and head injuries can do to you is something we really have to be concerned about,” Moon said. “You just cannot allow yourself to not be smart in these situations. You need to take yourself off the field of battle; you need to take yourself off the field of play.”

“It’s awesome that they are partnering up,” Landaas said about the Army and NFL. “It shows they are trying to take control of a pretty serious situation.”

Landaas added the partnership makes him optimistic about the future of TBI victims, and shows that both organizations want to improve treatment and raise awareness of the issue.
