I he were injured he should have a purple heart on his DD214 (record of service and honors received, schools attended and Military Occupation Specialty, or MOS,). This document is used to get treatment etc and his medical records should document injuries for purposes of compensation. Suffering brain injury should qualify for medical and disability benefits. How ever if the injury wasn't reported and he shook off a blast induced concussion that might get by!

You’re right. He could have been in the immediate area of an attack and sustained a concussion with no outwards signs of injury. Others who knew him says he was sent home early with an ear infection or something like that.
