The 6th of June is Veterans with Headache 
Diseases day.
According to research, Veterans are more likely to develop migraine or other persistent headache disorders than their civilian counterparts. One study showed that 36 percent of Veterans who had completed a 12-month deployment to Iraq were either diagnosed with or exhibited symptoms of migraine. 
In comparison, it has been estimated that migraine affects approximately 12 percent of the general population.
Many researchers believe Veterans are likely to develop the condition as a result of their service in the military. In addition to increased exposure to stressful combat situations, servicemen and women have higher rates of traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussion (mild TBI), or neck trauma; this can be caused by explosions, falls or other accidents. The post-traumatic headache that often follows these injuries dissipates for many within a few months, but in some cases it can persist longer or become chronic – especially if multiple traumas have occurred.
Another study showed that 20 percent of soldiers with a history of deployment-related concussion went on to develop chronic daily headache, a condition with symptoms that resemble chronic migraine. Furthermore, Veterans often experience more severe pain and disability from their attacks than non-Veterans, and migraine can reduce their “return to duty” rates as well.
