 While the honoring of veterans has perhaps been taken to excess in American culture, it is fitting and proper for us to remember them on November 11th. It is also important how we remember veterans on Veterans Day. While the ongoing problems that the Veterans Administration are well documented, the basic issues of health care, pensions, mental health, and assistance with PTSD and traumatic brain injuries for veterans have, happily, largely been settled. What we haven't addressed is how children of wartime veterans suffer. We usually see them only in images like this one, the homecoming. But what about the before and after pictures? These sons and daughters pay a high psychological and emotional price for the long absence of their parents. They do so without having a voice. Soldiers enlist. Their spouses and partners make conscious decisions to cope. But children are simply born into these situations of sacrifice. Like their parents, these children serve their country. As we observe Veterans Day this week, it's time for us to think about what we as a society owe them in return.
