In case anyone wants some links to help support understanding of the importance of veterans day and why in our DEI work we should consider supporting better understanding of this underserved and at risk population I just shared this at my company:
Tomorrow is Veteran's Day
This is a day to honor and recognize all service people and I think a good time for us to learn a bit more about who veterans are in our work and home communities and how we can support them. Veterans are a historically underrepresented group and have been marginalized after service which often leads to a lack of support for mental and physical health and well being and are one of the populations most at risk for experiencing homelessness. Here are a few resources I think help highlight some of the disparities and offer resources for deeper research and giving back. I welcome anyone who is a veteran (we have a few!) or have family members who are veterans to share their own reflections.
