When discussing veterans' contributions and showing appreciation, it's important to acknowledge their service, sacrifices, and the impact they've had on society. Here are some points to consider:
1. Military Service: Veterans have dedicated years of their lives to serving their country in the military, often facing dangerous and challenging situations.
2. Defense of Freedom: They have played a crucial role in defending the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy today, often at great personal risk.
3. Skills and Expertise: Veterans bring a wealth of skills, training, and expertise back to civilian life, enriching communities and workplaces.
4. Leadership and Teamwork: Military service fosters qualities such as leadership, teamwork, and resilience, which are invaluable in both military and civilian settings.
5. Community Impact: Many veterans continue to serve their communities after their military service, through volunteering, mentoring other veterans, or becoming leaders in various fields.
6. Support and Recognition: Showing appreciation can be as simple as thanking veterans for their service, supporting veteran-owned businesses, advocating for veteran rights and benefits, or participating in events that honor their contributions.
7. Challenges and Support Needs: It's also important to recognize that veterans may face challenges such as transitioning to civilian life, accessing healthcare, or dealing with mental health issues. Supporting veterans means advocating for policies and programs that address these needs effectively.
Overall, expressing gratitude and understanding the significance of veterans' contributions helps foster a sense of unity and respect within communities.
Remember, thanking a veteran is about acknowledging their sacrifice and service to our country. Your genuine appreciation can make a positive impact and create a connection that honors their contributions.
We take pride in serving our Veterans!

Behind every statistic lies a story, a hero who served. Did you know there are 21 million American veterans, with 16.6 million having served during wartime? Yet, 3.6 million live with service-connected disabilities. Shockingly, almost half lack access to vital services. It's time to change that narrative. Join us in making a difference. 💙

ICYMI: My father served 20 years on active duty and retired from the Navy as a Commander; my husband Aaron, served 34 years in the Coast Guard and retired as a Captain. I know how challenging the transition from active duty to civilian life can be - I’ve witnessed it firsthand. For disabled veterans, the process is even more daunting and their caregivers play an important role in the process. Many caregivers are family members or loved ones who take time out of their daily lives to do this much needed work. But right now, caregivers are struggling.
86% of caregivers say their responsibilities have affected their work or education, and only 21% say they feel they can comfortably retire. It’s clear that they need more support!
I'm proud that our Easterseals Affiliates are working so hard to support veterans and military families and the caregivers who play such a key role in their lives. But we can only get veterans and their caregivers part of the way to complete success; we need employers to be active partners in this work.
When this work integrates with the support and services that many nonprofits provide, we can create a future where veterans and their caregivers feel supported and their service to our nation is recognized and valued.

Essential Insights for Veterans
One recurring theme we hear, especially after wrapping up our VetOps monthly workshop, is the drastic shift veterans experience after leaving the military. In the military, everything is provided—housing, childcare, groceries—all within reach on base. One veteran from Nashville shared how he never had to leave the base for anything.
When transitioning to civilian life, veterans face the new challenge of managing housing, bills, and more independently. This change is significant whether you're leaving the corporate world for entrepreneurship or transitioning from military to civilian careers.
Understanding and preparing for these shifts is crucial for a successful transition. Are you a veteran seeking guidance in navigating this new landscape? Learn more about us on ATLVets website!

22 veterans each day on average commit suicide.
It’s been this way for a while now, and more needs to be done to prevent it.
The Department of Veterans Affairs recently announced new steps to continue the fight to end veteran suicide, including:
Increased mental health screening via regional tele-mental health hubs.
Enhanced work with the Department of Defense to help veterans in transition.
Launching a new study on the impacts of deployment and combat on veterans.
Using predictive modeling to help increase early intervention for at-risk veterans.
These are all positive steps forward, but increased prevention of veteran suicide starts with you (anyone reading this).
Veterans who are contemplating taking their own lives are in a particularly delicate state, and feel there is no other way out.
