In honor of Veterans Day they offered ways to bridge the civilian-military gap including flying an American flag, donating to a veteran service organization, or buying a veteran a meal.They also offer a Veterans Pop 101 Quiz to test your knowledge about veterans to gain a better understanding about veterans and the military community.  You can also watch PsychArmor’s 15 Things Veterans Want You To Know.  It’s all found at cohenveteransnetwork.org/veteransday.
