Today is Veterans Day—a day to honor and recognize those who have served. But it’s also a reminder that veterans need more than just a thank-you; they need support that extends far beyond a single day. ?? As many veterans return to civilian life, they often face challenges like mental health struggles, unemployment, and difficulties accessing proper healthcare. It’s up to us as communities, businesses, and individuals to bridge the gap and ensure they receive the respect, opportunities, and care they deserve. Let’s not forget that many veterans fought for ideals like freedom, equality, and justice—values that we, as leaders, should strive to uphold every day. ?? This Veterans Day, let’s commit to creating environments that support veterans holistically. Whether it's in the workplace, through mentorship, or community involvement, we can all do our part. ?? #VeteransDay #SupportOurVeterans #LeadershipInAction #MentalHealthMatters #VeteranEmployment #CommunitySupport #InclusiveLeadership #HonorAndAction

Today, we honor our veterans — the brave men and women who have served our country. ???? But behind the resilience and courage, many veterans face silent battles once they return home. Did you know? Roughly 1 in 10 U.S. veterans struggles with a substance use disorder (SUD). This often stems from the emotional and physical challenges of service, creating a difficult path toward healing and recovery. At Living Kindness, we’re committed to helping veterans and individuals find healing and resilience. By fostering education, community, and compassion, we aim to make a positive difference for those on the journey to recovery. ?? On this Veterans Day, let’s extend our gratitude beyond words by increasing awareness, support, and understanding for the needs of veterans. Small acts of kindness and compassion can truly change lives. To every veteran reading this: we honor you, we see you, and we’re here to support you. #VeteransDay #MentalHealthAwareness #RecoveryJourney #Resilience #Compassion #LivingKindness

This Veterans Day, let’s shift our focus from parades and celebrations to the real needs of our veterans—especially those who have borne the human cost of war. While we honor their service, it’s crucial to remember that many veterans are still facing immense struggles long after they’ve returned home. The physical and mental toll of service can be profound, yet far too many veterans find themselves without the healthcare, housing, or support they need to heal and rebuild their lives. Instead of just commemorating their sacrifices, we must center the conversation on the systemic changes needed to ensure that every veteran has access to comprehensive healthcare, affordable housing, and the resources necessary for a dignified life. As a society, we owe it to our veterans to do more than celebrate; we need to act. It’s time to prioritize policies that address the deep needs of those who served, not just on Veterans Day, but every day. #VeteransDay #SocialJustice #VeteransCare #HealthcareForAll #HousingIsAHumanRight #MentalHealthMatters #VeteransSupport

???????? ?????? ????????????: ?????????? ???? ???????? ?????????????? As Veterans Affairs and ID.me encourage Military Community Members to participate in Veteran Buddy Checks, I find myself reflecting on my own journey—from the days of gearing up for missions in a UH-60 Black Hawk with my Scout Team to transitioning into the battlefield of corporate America. There I was, dropping off Celebrex samples from the trunk of a used Crimson Red Ford Taurus. Picture this: suit and tie, 95-degree Miami heat in August, navigating the dynamics of big pharma. Like many veterans, I’ve asked myself, Should I have stayed in? After all, most soldiers experience a withdrawal from the camaraderie of their military family and the high-stakes adrenaline of their military role. In my case, it was from mission-ready environments to managing quotas and cold calls. The adjustment was real, and that sense of leaving behind not just the people, but the intensity of the work, was a tough one. Veteran Buddy Checks are an essential reminder that the mission never ends. Whether it's on the battlefield or in the boardroom, staying connected with our brothers and sisters in arms is crucial. And you don’t need to be a veteran to check in on one! Sometimes, just a simple conversation can make all the difference. Here’s why this matters: veterans are 1.5 times more likely to die by suicide compared to the general population, according to VA data. For female veterans, the risk is even higher—nearly 2 times that of their civilian counterparts. This is a stark reminder that no one should be left to face these battles alone. From October 21–25, 2024, Veteran Buddy Check Week aims to enhance peer-to-peer connections, improve mental health, and increase access to vital resources, both through VA and non-VA channels. This initiative builds on the American Legion’s Buddy Check program and the Veteran Wellness Alliance’s Get Involved program. I urge all veterans—and those who care about veterans—to take part in this important effort. Let’s check in on one another—because no one should walk this road alone. #VeteranBuddyCheck #IDme #VeteransAffairs #MilitaryCommunity #MentalHealth #PeerSupport #VeteranWellness #BuddyCheckWeek

Today, on Veterans Day, we pause to honor the sacrifices our veterans have made and to reflect on the profound role they continue to play in our society. Veterans are not only defenders; they are a steady compass, guiding us with a unique wisdom that reminds us to strive for our very best. It has been said that only those who have known war can truly understand peace. Veterans bring a perspective few others possess. Having walked the line between peace and conflict, they understand both the high cost of war and the irreplaceable value of harmony. Their experiences give them a voice that speaks to resilience, courage in adversity, and a commitment to a better world—a world where service to one another defines us all. As voices of leadership and accountability, veterans remind us that true strength is rooted in integrity, honor, and sacrifice for something greater than oneself. They embody the balance of conviction and humility—qualities our society needs now more than ever. At Grunt Style Foundation, we are committed to honoring veterans not just with words, but with meaningful action. Through advocacy, mental health support, and community initiatives, we work to ensure veterans have the resources they need and the recognition they deserve. Today, I ask each of you to join us in reflecting on how veterans have shaped our nation and how we can continue to support them in their journey. This Veterans Day, let’s carry their message forward—an enduring call to be the best version of ourselves, to build a society worthy of their service and sacrifice. This We'll Defend, William Wisner Executive Director, Grunt Style Foundation #veterans #veteransday #sacrifice #Forwardwithpurpose

Not all wounds are visible. ?? Today is Veteran’s Day—a time to honor those who served. But beyond the medals and parades, many veterans carry something unseen: trauma. It doesn’t wear a uniform, but it follows them home. Trauma doesn’t fade with time; it reshapes lives. For veterans, and so many others, it’s a daily struggle. It impacts families, relationships, and careers. In the workplace, we may not know who’s quietly fighting this battle. A little empathy, a little patience, can go a long way. Today, let’s honor veterans not only with gratitude, but with understanding. How can we build workplaces and communities that support those with unseen wounds? #VeteransDay #MentalHealthMatters #SupportOurVeterans
