Veterans Day is always a hard day for me. I grew up in a military family and my brother and son-in-law served. I know what this service means to individuals and families. I also worked in a nonprofit that specifically works with active-duty, retirees, and veterans through issues of #PTSD, #MoralInjury, #MilitarySexualAssault, #DomesticViolence, and just general military culture.

When the goal should be toward creating increased world #peace and learning how to increase #diplomacy, #EarlyWarning, #CapacityBuilding of countries to meet the needs of their people, and mitigating #ClimateDisruption, the glorification of military might and nationalism within the US, especially on #VeteransDay, makes me exquisitely uncomfortable.

I don't have a great insight to share. Just needed a place to share how I am feeling today.
