Relatives of Robert R. Card II shared remorse, grief, and anger at the commission investigating the shooting, calling for improved mental health support and education in the military.
Nicole Herling, Mr. Card's sister, urged for a clearer system for families to share concerns with military supervisors, emphasizing the role of the Army and Defense Department in providing better education on brain injury risks.
Ms. Herling displayed her brother's helmet, symbolizing the failure of the Department of Defense in safeguarding his mental health despite exposure to numerous blasts during training.
The Army's commitment to understanding blast overpressure and its effects was mentioned, but it did not respond to requests for comment on the family's testimonies.
