VBH Serves veterans, their families, and military families and this article explains some of the unique challenges they face: “Military families are often rather isolated, which means they have a thinner social network.” "Spouses of active-duty troops have lost jobs, the same as thousands of other Americans, but are often the least likely to be able to find new ones." "Military families had distinct problems in the economy long before the coronavirus pandemic hit the United States. Spouses of members of the military have high unemployment — roughly 25 percent — because of their constant relocations and inability to transfer professional licenses from state to state." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/16/us/politics/coronavirus-military-hunger.html NYTIMES.COM Pandemic Leaves More Military Families Seeking Food Assistance

She's worked for Mecklenburg County for veterans services as an Administrative Assistant III, Veterans Service Officer, and Lead Veterans Service Officer before this promotion. "The role means a lot to me," Shelia says of her new position. "It provides me opportunity to share my 19-plus years of knowledge with the other officers in any capacity, to assist them with any issues or concerns as well as problem solving for the veterans we serve and the team members as well."

Veterans are you looking for a COVID-safe way to volunteer? Check out this note from Fort Bragg and XVIII Airborne Corps about Rock Merritt. He could use your thoughts, prayers, and letters. #AllTheWay Fort Bragg and XVIII Airborne Corps March 3 at 9:59 AM · Our man Rock Merritt is in rough shape in the hospital. Rock is a legend within the 18th Airborne Corps: He's a WWII paratrooper who jumped into Normandy and Operation Market Garden and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He was wounded and earned the Distinguished Service Cross. He later fought in Vietnam and served as the first Command Sergeant Major of this Corps (he's actually the only Soldier to ever hold that position twice). In addition to all that legendary stuff, he's an all-around awesome guy. Every time he comes on Fort Bragg, he takes time to talk to our Soldiers. Well, we've got his back. We know you do too. We're starting a letter-writing campaign and we plan to deliver your letters to him in the hospital. We want letters pouring in; we're hoping to deliver him hundreds of get-well notes. We cannot talk about Rock's condition but he does not have COVID-19. We know he'll pull through. PLEASE send Rock a note to this address: XVIII Airborne Corps PAO 2175 Reilly Road, Stop A Fort Bragg, NC 28310 Let's rally around Rock.
