Holidays can be a difficult time for many Veterans, especially those who may be separated from friends & family due to distance or COVID-19, and connecting with former service members helps alleviate stress and loneliness.
Many Veterans also miss the camaraderie and kinship they felt during service. Or they may find it difficult to relate to those outside the military.
Creating a new community of Veterans or reconnecting with former service members can help ward off loneliness, stress and anxiety, and provide a sense of purpose.
