veterans digest
Every veteran carries a story, whether it be while in service of their country or life after service as a civilian. Some stories are about courage, family, loss, hardship, service, sacrifice, or coming home to a country that does not fully understand what was left behind. Each month, Paviti Tern shares one veteran in service story and one veteran story after discharge to remind us that war, trauma, and healing do not stop with the veterans' discharge from service. Their stories reach out to families, friends, communities, and the people who stand beside them, so these voices are not buried, softened, or forgotten. These featured stories are presented in digest form in order that the reader may get a better understanding of why the veteran suicide rate is astronomical today. Subscription is available to view all archived veteran digest stories. Veterans that submit Their stories are given free access to our archives
