Ways You Can Support — and Learn About — Veterans
The Huffington Post has a nice article with five facts about veterans, each with specific ways you can support organizations that help them overcome post-traumatic stress, find housing, and get care packages, among other needs.
The article highlights the Library of Congress’ Veterans History Project, which features individual stories from veterans and other interesting items, such as a podcast from an event that discussed women in combat.
The Veterans Administration, assisted by Iraq War veteran Tammy Duckworth (who lost her legs after a rocket hit the Black Hawk she was co-piloting), has much more.
