Great idea from @HelpforHeroes .... message a veteran via their link

[Help for Heroes @HelpforHeroes]

When the uniform comes off, the battles don't always end.

Every day, 5 people are medically discharged from the UK military. Without a support network, many feel isolated. This hits hardest during Christmas.
