Did You Miss Warrior Care Month?
It's All Month This November.
November most importantly has Thanksgiving but it also is Warrior Care Month.
The Military Health System stated: "The DoD, Military Services, and collaborating
organizations will use November to celebrate the strength and resilience – physically,
mentally, and spiritually – of our wounded, ill, and injured service members, as well
as their families and caregivers; raise awareness of the warrior care resources and programs
available today; and inspire year-round discourse regarding today's warrior care priorities."
Army Command Sgt.
Maj. Robert Luciano, Senior Enlisted Advisor of the Defense Health Agency, wrote:
Warrior Care Month helps raise awareness for available programs and resources, while also
inspiring dialogue and action.
As we honor warfighters this month, it's important to remember that warrior care extends
beyond November.
There must never be a day when we do not provide our wounded, ill, and injured service members
the best possible care and support.
We continue to be inspired by their strength and we are here to serve them as they transition
into a new chapter in their lives.
And the Office of Warrior Care Policy (WCP) adds :
Warrior Care Month is an important annual effort to increase awareness of the programs
and resources available to wounded, ill and injured service members, as well as their
families, caregivers and those who support them.
The WCP website has eight "Quick Links" that provides information on different topics
that are important all wounded warriors and their caregivers.
In addition, they have seven programs that they manage: The Disability Evaluation System,
Recovery Coordination Program, Military Caregiver Support, Education and Employment Initiative,
Operation Warfighter, Military Adaptive Sports Program, and a National Resource Directory.
The latter is a website that provides access to tens of thousands of services and resources
at the federal, state, and local levels that support recovery, rehabilitation and community
integration, for Service members, wounded warriors, veterans, and their families.
Resources range from homeless assistance to benefits and compensation to volunteer opportunities.
Secretary of Defense Mattis recently said that there is "no higher priority for this
Department than caring for those who have sacrificed so much."
That is a statement with which all of us can agree!
