The observance of military veterans and their families around the country on May 1st encourages us to celebrate military veterans and their families.
For those who serve in the United States military, 1/10th suffers a serious injury. The majority of those injuries are related to combat. Our veterans live with those injuries for the remainder of their lives. The injuries also act as a regular reminder of sacrifices during war or conflict.
