Veterans Voices
Veterans make up about 6 percent of the U.S. adult population, and often the veteran headlines focus on negative issues like homelessness, mental health challenges, and problems finding a job.
This Veterans Day, The Hill amplifies veterans’ voices from across the country, highlighting their transitions from military life to the workplace environment, their accomplishments and struggles, and their real-life stories as a tribute to their service.
As the veteran population has been declining steadily over the years, The Hill‘s Veterans Voices show salutes the veterans across the country and will dive into these questions:
How can we better value our veterans at home and at work? What are the top challenges affecting the country’s veterans? What more can policymakers in Washington do to improve the lives of those who are or have served their country? How can the private sector and communities across the country create pathways to opportunity for veterans and their families?
