Mental Injuries For Homeless Veterans

I believe our nation’s veterans deserve to be honored. They do so much for our country. They risk severe physical injury, they risk mental health issues, and they defend the honors and freedoms of our nation. These are just a few reasons they deserve to be honored. Veterans put their physical well-being on the line.

I have a few people in my family that are veterans. Their service means alot to me. I admire them for their for their bravery and loyalty to their country. They inspire me in many ways such as to be brave even if the situation requires only a small act of bravery, and to speak out against something I know is wrong. To me veterans need to be honored every day for their service.

Veterans are some of the bravest men and women that you will ever know. They fought for our country in our most desperate hours and risked their lives so we could have the chance to live ours. It is such a shame that they are ignored and even homeless in today 's society. I had wondered how we could get veterans of the street and back into the job world. After research I found that there are programs and methods put in place specifically to help these struggling veterans.

Every year the United States government has to agree on a federal budget for fiscal policy. The federal budget breaks down how and on what the country’s revenue will be spent. The budget is divided into several parts, including military spending, veteran benefits, health and science, education, transportation, etc. The national government sets aside approximately fifty-four percent of the federal revenue for military expenses such as guns, tanks, ammunition, etc. These expenses do not include the pay of those who serve in the military.

This finding also show that there is a need to make more efforts in making military skills in line with civilian vocations. In a poll conducted in 2010 by the Society of Human Resources Management found that 60% of employers felt that veterans often had difficulty translating military experiences into civilian job experiences (Faurer, Rogers-Brodersen, & Bailie, 2014). In contrast, the literature review also found that there is a perceived notion of discrimination from some employers, who did not show complete trust in hiring veterans for reasons such as PTSD. A study by The George W. Bush Institute in Dallas, Texas (XXXX), on issues affecting veterans who have served since 9/11 confirms this issue. They found that employers sometimes cite

Bruce Springsteen’s classic 1984 song “Born in the U.S.A” is one that many Americans sing on patriotic holidays such as Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. With the song’s fast, upbeat rhythm, red-white-and-blue-themed album cover, and repetition of the chant “Born in the U.S.A,” the song can be portrayed as a tune that creates and supports American pride and patriotism. Behind the guitars and synthesizers, however, “Born in the U.S.A.” is a slightly upsetting explanation of how Vietnam veterans were treated upon their return home to America after the Vietnam War. Springsteen himself was drafted to fight in the Vietnam War, but never enlisted due to his 4-F status, a classification given to military members who are unfit for combat due to

Bettering Myself for The Ones I Love According to learner.org, “Setting is created by language. How many or how few details we learn is up to the author. Many authors leave a lot of these details up to the reader's imagination”. I do agree that authors purposely leave out details, so the reader is able to form their own opinion and be creative within guidelines.

Being a type of military veteran with non-visible injuries I have been looked at like there is nothing wrong with me and turned away by doctors who could not figure out why veterans are in so much pain. Many veterans are discriminated against because of their age and years in service, they (and I) have had to endure pain for a longer period of time. For example, I have been dealing with severe back pain since 2010, however, because of my age and the fact I do not look like or show how much pain I really am in; the Veterans Affairs (VA) doctors refused to give me the treatment that I need. This type of discrimination due to outward appearance, not only affects veterans, but also making them feel isolated, just like many others such as the author

Veterans face traumatic events out on the battlefield that changes their lives forever. As they fight through war, it becomes a lifestyle that they are used to moreover can not get out of. People do not appreciate the amount of time veterans give to fight our country. Coming home from the war veterans most times feel like they are still fighting a war.

Introduction A serious public health problem that causes pain, suffering, and loss to families, communities, and individuals, suicide is a serious issue within our society.
