Puerto Ricans continue to struggle with survival issues and Congress grapples with an aid package. This week, Soledad O’Brien meets with Luis Fotuño, former Governor of Puerto Rico, to discuss comeback strategies, and the long term plan that could turn Puerto Rico into an economic powerhouse. Plus, a special report on female veterans at risk for death by suicide. Correspondent Diane Roberts goes to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to speak with Nicole Langhorst, who has turned the loss of her sister into a quest to help other veterans. Then, retired Gen. Peter Chiarelli, former Vice Chief of Staff for the Army, joins Soledad for an important discussion on post-traumatic stress, the research on diagnosis and treatment, and the connection between traumatic brain injury and PTSD.
