Since today is Veterans Day, here’s news that work is beginning in on a memorial for veterans with disabilities in Washington, D.C. More information on plans for the memorial is here. Thousands of vets are coping with physical and mental disabilities acquired during their service and they often receive little support when they return home. This memorial could serve as a good reminder that our obligation to returning veterans doesn’t end when they are discharged. But construction of the memorial should also be accompanied by better access to health care and other supports that will help them succeed as civilians.
