CHAPEL HILL -- Author Ronald Glasser, who practices medicine in Minneapolis and is an authority on warfare injuries, will speak on health care for veterans, healing for both physical and mental trauma from the war in Iraq at 7 p.m. Sunday, March 30, at the Church of Reconciliation, 110 N. Elliott Road in Chapel Hill.

He will repeat his talk, "A War of Disabilities," at 7:30 p.m. Monday at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh, 3313 Wade Ave.

Glasser served as an Army hospital physician during the Vietnam War. He wrote the book "365 Days" about his Vietnam War experiences. More recently he has written "Wounded: Vietnam to Iraq," which is about the injuries that Iraq veterans are receiving and the difficulties they are having in recovery. Throughout, he compares the injuries and recovery of Vietnam soldiers to what is being experienced by soldiers of the Iraq War.
