Reflecting on the Sacrifices Made by Those Who Have Served Us

service

Many who have served in the armed forces have given the ultimate sacrifice. Even more, they carry physical and mental scars that are hard to overcome. Their sacrifices are immeasurable and cannot be fully appreciated by those who have not served in the military.

Think about the fact Veterans give up their time, comfort, and often their safety to protect the freedoms that we enjoy as citizens.

Many veterans have experienced physical or emotional trauma during their service, and it is important to support them in their healing process. Finding ways to help them readjust to life when returning home is a great help.

Leaving the service and returning to your home is very hard for some vets. Any help you give could be a godsend. It is crucial to remember that the sacrifices of veterans extend beyond their time in the military, as they often face challenges when reintegrating into civilian life.

We should remember veterans more than just one day or weekend a year. They often carry their scars, whether seen or not, daily. It would be good to help them when and where we can.

Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force.
