Caption

Troops from the 82nd Airborne Division wear protective gear as they try to acclimate to the heat of the Saudi summer during Operation Desert Shield in 1990. New VA research may have identified a blood biomarker for Gulf War Illness, which continues to affect many Gulf War veterans more than 25 years later.
