This November 11th, we honor Veterans Day—a day to recognize the brave individuals who have served in the U.S.military.
Established in 1919 following World War I, Veterans Day is an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices veterans have made for our country.
Veterans Day reminds us of the courage and commitment shown by those who have served. It’s a day to express gratitude, raise awareness about veteran issues, and ensure their voices are heard. By commemorating this day, we acknowledge their role in defending our freedoms and building our nation.
This Veterans Day, honor the sacrifices and service of veterans by exploring the impactful work of Richard Brookshire, a U.S. Army combat medic, veteran of the War in Afghanistan, and co-founder of the Black Veterans Project.
