Personal Review: Veterans In The Military

A veteran is “a person who has served in the armed forces.” This is the dictionaries definition of a veteran. An unknown author wrote “a veteran is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check payable to ‘The United States of America,’ for an amount of ‘up to and including my life,’” but not everyone has the same definition for a veteran, so what is yours? Veterans have not been treated the best after they have come back home from the military. They could come back home with mental illnesses or disabilities or, for others, they could come home to financial problems. Some veterans end up homeless because they have no money when they get home. Others could end up in depression. Veterans do not just come home and go back to their normal lives like some people think they do. So, for the good of American war veterans and other American citizens, these veterans need improved therapy and treatment than what they are receiving currently.

Veterans face many challenges when transitioning from the service. Those that have served shift from a fairly structured and ridged way of life to the less structured and more chaotic civilian life. Many veterans, especially those that have been in combat or have had to personally deal with catastrophic situations, have a very hard time adjusting and often require significant levels of assistance. Sadly many veterans fail to get help, either because they do not wish to appear weak or they are simply turned away.

Veterans are heroes in the eyes of many citizens of the United States. There are over 20 million veterans that have risked their lives at young ages to help give the nation a fear free life. They serve and protect the land for their children, spouses, parents, family, and neighbors. Yet they are not treated with the love and respect they truly deserve. The veterans took a devastating loss when the “House Appropriations Subcommittee marked up the 2016 Veterans Affairs funding bill, and slashed more than $1.4 billion from the presidents requested budget for America’s Veterans” ( ask mrs. Pyle 8). Today, the veterans are treated worse than prisoners who have committed murder or rape. While these criminals have a safe and warm place to stay,

To begin with, veterans are the reason why we still prosper and have freedom in the United States of America. However, on an article about veteran employment the

An ex-military veteran, Sgt. Bradie Frink, lost his job for 26 months due to the fact that the VA thought he was trying to blow the whistle on them. Bradie, who served our country, was only trying to change his beneficiary policy so that both of his children would benefit from it. The VA has been under scrutiny for not providing benefits guaranteed to many of our ex-military personnel. These whistleblowers were then quickly unemployed due to the attention they brought on the VA.

Wounded Warrior Project serves veterans and service members who incurred a mental or physical injury, wound, or illness, co-incident to their military service on or after September 11, 2001 and their families. On that date, America watched in horror as approximately 3,000 people died including hundreds of firefighters and rescue workers. Many warriors note a sense of duty to volunteer for the military following these tragic events. Wounded Warrior Project began when several veterans and friends, moved by stories of the first wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq, took action to help others in need. It started as a program to provide comfort items to wounded service members and it has grown into a complete rehabilitative effort to assist warriors as they transition back to civilian life. For WWP, there is a distinct difference between members and alumni; the term alumni indicates a mutual shared experience and denotes your place in an organization was earned. There are no dues here - those were paid by wearing the uniform and on the battlefield.

The American War Library states that a veteran is defined by federal law, moral code and military service as Any person who served for Any length of time in Any military service branch (Coleman, 2008). No matter how a veteran initially entered the service, be it through the draft process or voluntarily, all veterans have served and have made sacrifices to protect and serve the United States of America. Prior to that individual ever becoming a member of the military they were all someone’s newborn infant, a son or a daughter, a child with hopes and dreams, and a young adult with a future life full of possibilities. As a veteran, many do go on to realize their hopes and dreams and to live full and productive lives, it is the fact that a veteran may also face challenges and disabilities, directly linked to their military service, that thwarts their ability to live the lives once possible, that needs to be addressed. No veteran should be left behind or forgotten and all veterans should be empowered, be their wounds visible or invisible, all should be restored to their fullest capacity, for we as a nation owe the veteran for their service and sacrifices.

This article is about U.S army veterans suffering from PTSD who remain on death row and face execution due to an illegal crime they committed, that resulted from their disorder. The intended audience and discourse community can include: Veterans who suffer from PTSD, Active duty personnel, Military families, and people who want to lend a helping hand. The audience already knows that veterans can possibly suffer PTSD, after serving in the military and can result in some irrational act of violence. What the audience doesn’t know is how the veterans request for understanding and compassion are too often dismissed and overlooked. The audience wants to know how a veteran’s military experience has affected their commission of a crime, and if the death row is justified. The purpose of this paper is to inform the audience about the problems and affects PTSD can have one person. Also, the author is trying to persuade the reader to assist and understand the situations of those who have returned from war with wounds and physical disabilities. In this article, I can identify the usage of formal language as the passage consists of “serious” texts and

I am writing a paper on an issue I have seen a lot being a soldier in the military, and working in the medical field. This is an issue that is very important in the field I would like to be working in when it comes to the veterans and the military. This is something I need to understand and be able to explain to soldiers, veterans, and their families when this issue comes up. What a lot of people do not know is that not everyone currently serving in the military is covered under HIPAA in the United States. No matter what branch you are serving in, your medical information is open not just to you and your doctor. It is also open to personal personnel in your chain of command. Where other soldiers could read your medical information

As stated previously, it was a great honor to have met Mr. Busch, but was even a greater experience when I, along with the many other veterans, were personally invited to have a private lunch with him. Only about five other students showed up and it turned more into an emotional impact then a creative one, but as many of my pieces have focused on emotion, emotion and creativity go hand and hand together. We talked about our military experiences, but he was asking us more questions about how close the veterans were with one another.

I want to thank you for the respect you have shown to the veterans. They deserve all the praise and thanks they can get. Congratulations one your first year. I also started as a corrections officer prior to being hired at the police department, where I currently work. It is good that you are pursuing your degree early in your career. It is a smart move on your part. I wish I would have made the decision years earlier. Good to meet you and I look forward to reading more posts.

In the United States, soldiers are currently returning home from war broken and scarred. While some physical wounds are clearly visible others are often hidden/invisible to the naked eye, but men and women proudly wear these wounds as a badge of courage and honor for protecting our nation. These men and women come home rightfully expecting help, assistance and care and get hit with the reality of poor care from the Veteran Health Administration and Department of Defense.

What is a Veteran? According to Title 38 of the Code of Federal Regulations, a Veteran is “a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service and who was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable.” This definition clarifies that any individual that has completed a service for any branch of the Armed Forces classifies them as a Veteran, as long as they were not dishonorably discharged. Veterans also have different classifications, which help identify their Veteran Benefits. Our nations Veterans deserve the highest quality care. The US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) operates more than 1700 sites and provides 8.76 million Veterans annually. Veterans have served their country, provided a service to protect and fight for our country, they have given up their freedom to provide the US citizens Freedom. These are our heroes of today and our Veterans of tomorrow. Once these courageous men and women are back on US soil they should have somewhere to turn to for health care (Norcross 2015). Currently there have been some issues regarding the Health care that our Veterans are receiving.

Regarding the guided practice 12.3, I would probably be more focused on apprenticeship if the veteran is strongly holding on to private sectors. I would personally recommend the VA for them. However, if not having the desire for it than a good assessment would be the mechanical aptitude test mat-3c, if given the chance that the skill sets do not transfer. The veteran can then learn about different types of apprenticeships in which they might be interested in.

I had to interview individuals because there is no VA hospital here. Most of the active duty members I have interview do not know where I would send a veteran who’s in need mental health services. So, I interviewed a veteran who served for 25 years and currently work at Grafenwoehr PX as a cashier. The others two veteran I couldn't get a hold of because they were not returning my emails and I do not know their work schedule. Also, I have completed my part from the final assignment. However, I didn’t see all the post at the time. I have attached my finding about two days ago, and I will have attached it again. I didn’t use the same questions you all used since I was intervening individuals and not an agency. I did my interview based on the feedback
