The struggle is real (10 Photos)
Veterans Day is just behind us, a day to honor the men and women who have given so much in service to our country. It’s a time when Americans come together to express gratitude for the sacrifices made — sacrifices that, for many veterans, continue long after the uniform comes off. For veterans like Mario, it’s a reminder that the battles they face don’t always end when they leave the battlefield.
Too often, veterans find themselves slipping through the cracks of the system they fought to protect, left to navigate a complex world of chronic pain, mental health struggles, and unmet needs.
