Warrior Gateway: New Portal for Digital-aged Veterans

Web portal Warrior Gateway helps digital-age vets 05/25/2010.  For young veterans returning from duty in Iraq or Afghanistan, the process of re-entering society can be daunting, especially if they have been injured or have struggled with mental health problems.  A new, free Web portal wants to help these warriors find the services they need in an environment they are comfortable in: the Internet.  Warrior Gateway is designed with Google Inc. and social media in mind to make its intended audience as comfortable as possible. Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, generally in their mid-20s, grew up with e-mail, keep in touch using Facebook and are familiar with online communities that stretch across time zones. AP
