As Memorial Day approaches, we want to take a moment to honor and remember the brave men and women who have sacrificed their lives while serving in the United States Armed Forces. For many, this weekend marks the unofficial start of summer. It’s a time for backyard barbecues, gathering with friends and family, and for many, enjoying the first swim of the season. Whatever your activities, we hope you find joy and relaxation in the company of your loved ones. As we observe this weekend, we place a deep gratitude for the service and sacrifice of so many brave men, women and their families 🙏🇺🇸 #veteranownedbusiness #veterans #veteranowned #memorialdayweekend #memorialday2024 #elyoninternational

🌟 Today, May 10th, marks National Military Spouse Appreciation Day, a moment to honor the unsung heroes behind our brave soldiers. Yet, amidst the valor and sacrifice, there lies a silent struggle for many military spouses – the battle against substance use disorder within their loved ones.

Spouses navigate deployments, relocations, and the unique challenges of service life. Yet, they stand as pillars of strength, offering unwavering support through every twist and turn of recovery. They become advocates, allies, and beacons of hope, lighting the way forward with love and understanding.

There’s a category of #military brats that are especially deserving of the nation’s recognition, gratitude, and serious study: the roughly 2 million Post-9/11 military children who experienced at least one if not multiple parental deployments—most often to theaters of #war—in the 20yr period after 2001. Already by 2011 (the formal end of the Iraq War), more than 4,300 of these children had had a parent killed in the Iraq & Afghanistan wars. As of 2015, that number had reached some 5,000. It’s difficult to know exactly how many American military kids are survivors or orphans of troops who were killed in the line of duty during the #GWOT, or who they are, let alone the total numbers of children survivors of all those who’ve served in the Post-9/11 era: There does not appear to be any type of database or central repository of information from which to find them. Surveying the past 35 years with the Lucas Group, however, the nonprofit Fallen Patriots has estimated that approximately 25,000 children have lost an active duty parent during that time (whether from accident, illness, hostilities, or suicide). The majority of these fatalities were their fathers. We owe a debt to these military children that goes far beyond media pronouncements and themed events once a year in April.

📢 I retired from the Air Force on my own terms. I was (so) ready to leave. I left early because I was choosing my mental health over what other’s thought I should be doing. I did all of this on my own accord…and I 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 had a wave of emotion during my transition to civilian life. No matter your reason for separating, please know that the roller coaster of emotions is normal. Some of it is the deconditioning process from choosing a career of this magnitude. You may experience relief, sadness, discontent, and elation all at the same time and it can be confusing. You do not need to commit to one feeling regarding your separation. You are allowed to feel all the things. I talk a lot about this in my book in hopes that you know you are not alone and to also provide some practices for working through it. Spoiler alert…I advise you to let yourself work through it all. Don’t jump into the next busy-thing to avoid what your heart is asking you to hear.

Today we ask for your help to honour the brave men and women lost. We pledge to create name tags to bring with us and honor the fallen everywhere we go. #operationhonorthem #BREACHTHESTIGMA #mentalhealthmatters🧠 #stopveteransuicide #stopfirstrespondersuicide #strongertogether #firstresponders #veteranwellness #veterans #frontlinesuicide #firstresponderwellness #militarywellness

Children's Education (33%) Specifically addressing Quality-of-Life issues families are saying: Access to Housing - “The waitlist for the housing we were eligible for was too long, living in a hotel for six months to a year was a NO GO for us and not worth the convenience of living on post.” — Active- Duty Army Spouse BAH - “The community outside the base has seen a large jump in the price of homes. We placed several offers and were outbid each time. Home rentals in the community were extremely limited and charging above the BAH rate.” — Active-Duty Army Spouse Click on the link to view the Full Release Results: https://lnkd.in/ehF5J4ny What are your thoughts?
