Honoring National Veterans and Military Families Month
November marks National Veterans and Military Families Month, a time dedicated to Honoring the courage, resilience, and sacrifice of our Veterans and their families. At Til Valhalla Project, we recognize that behind every uniformed Hero is a family who serves alongside them, enduring the same moments of separation, worry, and joy in reunion. This month, we express our deepest gratitude to those who’ve selflessly dedicated their lives to our nation’s freedom and to the loved ones who stand with them.
The Importance of National Veterans and Military Families Month
National Veterans and Military Families Month was first declared to spotlight the invaluable role military families play. These families are often the silent strength behind our Armed Forces, facing frequent moves, long deployments, and the emotional toll of having a loved one in harm's way. Their support is crucial to the morale and success of those in uniform, and it’s time we acknowledge the unique sacrifices they make.
Veterans and Their Transition to Civilian Life
The transition from military to civilian life can be challenging for Veterans. They face difficulties finding employment, reintegrating into civilian society, and addressing mental health issues that may linger from service. Approximately 41% of post-9/11 Veterans report having a difficult time adjusting to civilian life, a statistic that underscores the importance of our collective support. Our mission at Til Valhalla Project is to Honor Veterans and provide resources that support their journey, including funding mental health resources and Honoring those we’ve lost with handcrafted memorial plaques.
Military Families: The Backbone of Resilience
For every Veteran or service member, there is a family that holds down the home front, keeping everything running smoothly during long absences. Spouses, children, and parents are often unsung Heroes, showing remarkable resilience in the face of uncertainty. Military children, in particular, face unique challenges, from adjusting to new schools with every move to coping with the stress of having a deployed parent. This month, we want to shine a light on the strength of these families and recognize the unwavering love and support they give.
Til Valhalla Project’s Mission: Honoring Heroes and Supporting Their Families
At Til Valhalla Project, our mission goes beyond Honoring the Fallen; we are committed to supporting Veterans and their families. Through the sales of impactful apparel, we aim to remember and Honor those who have served and provide for those who continue to serve. Every purchase directly funds our mission, supporting mental health initiatives to prevent Veteran suicide and delivering plaques to the families of the Fallen.
