Veterans Day Should Be Every Day

Nov 11 2009

On this Veterans Day, MOAA extends our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all those serving, and those who have served, including their courageous families whose service and sacrifice often goes unnoticed.

 

Each “Greatest Generation” has seen and experienced horrific conditions and personal struggles.

 

As we thank those who have sacrificed and given so much for their country, let us all do our part by reaching out to them and their families this holiday season.

 

For most Americans, the holidays can be a difficult and demanding time. For our military and their families, separation and deployments make the season even more challenging.

 

MOAA has joined forces with the Department of Defense to stomp out the stigma associated with seeking help.

 

We want our military and families to know that help and resources are available to manage the psychological stresses of separation or combat. Thanks to the “Real Warriors Campaign,” we can all do our part to help our military and veterans get the help they need, when they need it.

 

MOAA members, Councils and Chapters can do their part individually—by encouraging troops, veterans and their families to check out the resources available through the Real Warriors Campaign website or by encouraging your organizations or companies to become a partner with DoD to stomp out stigma and promote health and wellness within our military community.

 

Check it out—“Real Warriors.”

Let’s serve those who serve and make every day, “Veterans Day!”
