Veterans day is a great day for all of the United States of America to come together and celebrate those who have sacrificed leaving there families, to come closer as a country, and to help commemorate the soldiers and those serving us now and those who gave their life for our wonderful country.
Understanding is something great to remember as you are getting used to jumping back into the swing of things. If you are single and are moving back into your home, be patient and understanding with your parents.
You may have changed but they will still think that you are the old you. Often times people who served feel like they are in a different level emotionally with their old friends who don't have the same experiences from serving. Be understanding and when necessary, have a discussion designed to help both parties understand better.
You can be in the heat of service to back home in about a day. This is not nearly enough time to adjust back into the swing of things. Don't feel pressured to rush back into to things or to take demands to do things you aren't ready for. You are number one and you need to take the time that you need to adjust yourself. The time that it takes can change from person to person so don't compare yourself to how others are doing.
If you know friends or family who have given service, then consider going to go visit them. Personally expressing to those close to you some gratitude can mean so much to them. If you don't personally know anyone, then consider going to a Veterans hospital or even have your little kids write him or her a letter of appreciation. Small tokens of gratitude can leave those that have served the United States with a feeling that outlasts their day.
There is little in this world deserving more respect than our veterans, and the time has come for veterans to be compensated and recognized for the things they have learned in the service of their country. Each veteran has a pool of experience from which they draw that is not available for any other person in the country or the world.
Invite your friends and family and try to participate in this activity together. Nothing can leave you feeling a deeper sense of gratitude for your country than listening to moving music. If your community doesn't offer any kind of music like this, then consider even trying to set up your own concert for those in your community.
It can take time trying to be a civilian again. Be patient with yourself, and be patient with others. Give yourself meaningful activities to do such as community involvement and when necessary, go see a specialist that can help you talk some of your troubles out.
