Deaf Soldier Headed to Iraq

James Raymond has permanent hearing loss that he suffered during his time in Afghanistan. And now, the Army wants to send him to Iraq. Raymond was given an honorable discharge four years ago. Congressman Brian Higgins is asking the Defense Department to postpone Raymond's deployment so there can be a hearing on his ability to serve. He’s schedule to report to Fort Benning, Georgia next month.
