Most of the VA’s strengths can be attributed to the advancement of medicine, technologies, and research. The integration and collaboration of web-based services throughout VA’s facilities has led to an increase in “speed, accuracy and efficiency of information exchange” (Department of Veteran Affairs, 2015). With those strengths, the VA is able to further improve upon veteran’s access to health care and the ways in which services can be delivered.
INTRODUCTION: How many people have a Veteran in their family or know one? If yes do you help them or is it someone else’s problem. Well many people think it’s someone else problem, but the truth is it’s our problem.
When I first started to research about how the American society helps discharged soldiers, I first wanted to know what type of help society offer to them. The article “10 Organizations that Help Veterans Transition to Civilian Life” published by Vista College helped me view a plethora of organizations that offer help to veterans. The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) organization helps “connect veterans to one another and educate them on,” issues and benefits they could get when transitioning
The objectives for the desired outcomes is to ensure that every veteran, regardless of which war, receives the proper care and treatment of their ailments. This is to include housing our homeless veterans in complexes in which they will feel safe, yet give them the freedom they need to work on their journey of healing. In the process, the veterans families that are affected must not be forgotten as
You know the commercial with Trace Adkins in it? Yea, that is the Wounded Warrior Project. In this paper you will find many facts about the organizations and things that say good and bad things about it. This organization is one of the few that I would consider donating to. The Wounded Warrior Project has several critics but they continue to keep their reputation high by providing help to thousands of military veterans in many different ways.
In addition to programs of the federal government, many private organizations work to prevent or end the homelessness of veterans. For example, the Wounded Warrior Project assists wounded veterans to help them recover from their physical and/or mental injuries and reintegrate into productive roles in society. Enabling them to provide for themselves, helps prevent them from becoming homeless (How We Serve). The American Legion has a Homeless Veterans Task Force to address the problem of veteran homelessness. They also work with federal organizations in drafting laws and policies to care for veterans’ needs, as well as working with corporate partners to promote hiring of veterans (Homeless Veterans (The American Legion)). The Disabled American Veteran (DAV) organization works with veterans to help them get the
Current funding for veteran healthcare care is low and insufficient because of the large number of veterans, who are being discharged from the military as the country transitions to a democratic President. According to Dr. Rachel Nardin in her article about veteran healthcare, “Soldiers get excellent acute care when injured on active duty, but as revelations of poor conditions for soldiers receiving ongoing outpatient care at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center highlighted, service members often have trouble getting the care they need once active duty ends” (Nardin 1)
The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) began in the year 2003 after many veterans and their friends discovered the necessity to send items of comfort to service members who are wounded and coming back home from Iraq and Afghanistan. From that time, the WWP has developed into a full rehabilitative effort to help warriors as they shift back into a life of a civilian. Using an approach that is holistic, the WWP serves soldiers as well as their families through nurturing the body and mind, and promoting economic engagement as well as empowerment. Through this, service is offered to service members and veterans who sustained a mental or physical injury, sickness, or wound at the time their military service on the 11th of September 2001 or after that date.
Veterans everyday face problems like these that can be helped and even prevented. These issues are blinded by society and I believe that these courageous Americans should have sufficient living conditions to live healthy and happy lives. I hope we can realize as a nation that our veterans are immensely important to us and the deserve more than what they are receiving. This essay opened my eyes to the many challenges veterans face in their everyday lives, I hope it did the same for
In the wake of our government shortcomings, organizations like the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the National Council for Homeless Veterans, and Disabled Veterans of America have stepped up to fill in the gap. Organizations like these have a strong presence within the community and have events and functions to provide additional funds and resources for returning veterans. There are programs specially tailored for each veteran to receive the proper care mentally and physically as well as resources like employment opportunities and housing. What has been shown to be most effective is the collaboration of a couple or a collection of organizations who will host fundraisers and events together. One example of this is Continuum of Care who works with local nonprofit veteran support organzations and provide services and supplies help bolster events and increase donations. Another example is a service we have here right on campus. In the Student Union Portland State University has a Veterans Center for students to relax, socialize, and receive
