Sometimes, a simple check-in can make a difference.
This week is Veteran Buddy Check Week, a reminder to reach out to the Veterans in your life. Call an old friend, reconnect with someone you served with, or simply ask, “How are you doing?”
The VA encourages Veterans to take the pledge to Talk to 10, helping strengthen connections, support one another, and connect fellow Veterans with resources when needed.
Take a few minutes this week to check in. You never know how much hearing from a familiar voice might mean.
Learn more, take the pledge, and access Buddy Check resources through the VA Veteran Buddy Checks page. Click the link in the first comment.
