Veterans Are Important All Year Long
Many veterans who served our country and laid their lives on the line for our freedom are often forgotten long after they return home. Veterans returning home face a variety of challenges, including physical and mental health issues like PTSD, anxiety, and depression, along with economic difficulties such as unemployment.
Social and emotional challenges are also common, such as an identity crisis due to the loss of structure and purpose, and a sense of alienation or disconnection from family and friends.

Veterans Day is a U.S. public holiday on November 11 that honors all who have served in the United States Armed Forces, both living and dead. This holiday specifically pays tribute to the service and sacrifice of all veterans, and is something all Americans can agree on. Rather than just thank a veteran for their service, there's more we can do, and not just for one day, but all year long.
