This week we honor the veterans who believe in a country that stands for everyone. That is something we are still working towards.
The US continues to tout ‘endless victory’ and ‘freedom for all’, so on the weekend of Veteran’s Day we take a moment to show respect for those who may have been forgotten, those in service who didn’t come home, and those who one day won’t return.
We honor many who fought, and are still fighting, to make the military a more inclusive place for women, LGBTQ, and people of color. We honor those who worked to end the draft. We honor the veteran who sat during the anthem because he understood that the protest was not about a flag or military, but about very real issues that our country is choosing to ignore. We honor the caregivers who help veterans cope with PTSD.
Here are a few of our stories about vets who remind us that everyone’s journey is unique, complex, and worth honoring.
