Rx for Resilience: Honor
Friday was Veteran's Day - a time to pay our respect to all those who have served the United States. We hope you all were able to partake in celebrations honoring the sacrifices made by those who have served in our military. Those who stepped up to fight our battles, not knowing the future that awaited them.
Honor is defined as regarding or treating someone with admiration and respect. How can we continue to honor and celebrate the stories of our veterans beyond Veterans Day? Here are some suggestions you can do today:
- Give Veterans an opportunity to tell their stories.
- Respect Veterans’ service, their feelings, and any suggestions they might offer.
- Thank Veterans for their service to our country.
- When approaching Veterans for their participation, consider bringing another Veteran with you.
- Show appreciation for the families of Veterans.
- Always be sincere, caring, compassionate and ready and able to listen to what a Veteran or his or her family member has to share about the situation they are dealing with.
- Be supportive and non-judgmental and always validate their feelings and concerns.
- Be honest, sincere, caring and respectful.
- Accept, without judgment, the Veteran as he/she is.
To those in our audience who are veterans, we thank you for your service, honor, and bravery. May you know the gratitude we hold for each of you and the time you have spent serving our country. Our honor for you and your service extends far more than just yesterday and today.
The following poem is written by Joanna Fuchs. We hope this provides an opportunity for you to reflect and honor all our veterans.
Protecting Us
While we were home on our comfortable sofas,
Munching and watching TV,
Our veterans were fighting our battles,
In situations we'd certainly flee.
Whatever would keep us all safe
Is what they were called to do,
Rough duties of every kind
Protecting us: me and you.
So when you see Vets, please thank them
For their service and sacrifice.
Be aware, and always remember
For us, they paid a price.
