"The VFW encourages all veterans to share stories on social media using #StillServing to show how they continue to answer the call to serve in ways big and small. In addition, family or friends are asked to use #StillServing in social media posts to honor a veteran in their lives who believes the spirit of service transcends military life."
In order to facilitate a smoother transition, we need to connect our veteran and nonveteran populations. Many who serve in AmeriCorps, the Peace Corps, and other nonmilitary national service programs often possess similar values as veterans.
The nonprofit cited fundraising shortfalls in cancelling the National Service Program, which helps veterans and their families navigate the Department of Veterans Affairs.
