Rise up - Andra Day


Director: M. Night Shyamalan

I don't usually post these types of things... But as a Veteran and a Veterans Service Officer, it bears remembering:

My main job is to assist Veterans with their disability paperwork, as well as family members with benefits coming after their Veteran has passed.

Many who come through my door are messed up. A percentage of them are dying from various diseases.

I haven't been doing this for long. But I noticed that my lack of posting here, which I had been doing since 2005, is in close proximity to my involvement as a VSO.

The point of this video is to remind myself that for almost every veteran I see, there's a family attached who has a lot more to deal with than I do.
