Veterans Day 2025

Tomorrow the nation will once again celebrate Veterans Day, to honor all who have served in the United States military -- in wartime or peacetime, living or deceased.

I've posted a Veterans Day article almost every year since starting this blog in 2005. You can see many at this link.  

In most of those articles I also show ways to honor service and sacrifice in how you use your time, talent and dollars to help make the USA a better, safer, healthier place for ALL who live here.  Some of my articles were turned into videos by interns who worked with me in past years.  You can view the "War on Poverty" video at this link.

I don't have a section of the Tutor/Mentor library dedicated to understanding challenges facing Veterans. I added this article today. I also added this article. I found both of these by a simple search.  Maybe one of you can point to a more comprehensive, reliable, resource.

I also did a search to find a few articles showing how Trump's DEI purge in the military puts U.S. national security at risk.  Here's one.  Unfortunately, you can find many more similar articles with a simple web search. 

I was in the US Army from 1968-1971 and spent a year in South Korea. I was never in combat. I'm not sure I was that great of a soldier, to be honest. However, I did receive the Amy Commendation Medal in 1971 and an Honorable Discharge.  I've used much of what I learned in my Army Intelligence training in the tactics and strategies of the Tutor/Mentor Connection/Institute, LLC, and in the two direct service programs I led between 1975 and 2011.

In 2001 I received an honorary PhD from Illinois Wesleyan for my work, partly thanks to what I learned while in the Army.

If you read many of my articles you'll see that I call on others to help gather, organize and share information that others can use to make better decisions on how they use their time, talent, dollars and votes to create a better, safer, America and World for ALL people, not just the rich.

You honor veterans for what you do.

Thanks for reading.  Let's connect on LinkedIn, Facebook, BlueSky, Twitter, Instagram, Substack and other platforms.

I've launched my annual December 19th "Birthday Campaign" where you can support my work with a gift.  And I continue my on-going Fund T/MI campaign.  Please help if you can.
