Every Veteran is a valued member of the brother and sisterhood.

I appreciate this post so much. I never saw (thank God) any wartime or combat. So I often feel as if I didn’t do anything worthwhile. I was a 25U for the army. I learned a lot and loved my battles. I didn’t realize that other people felt this way. Makes me proud

There are many ways to do Buddy Checks. Here's one I did today.
So, sometimes while pursuing FB marketplace, my lil Veteran antenna starts quivering. Yesterday and today it did, and I paid attention.
So, I reached out in messenger with this:
Hi, just came across this. I'd love to buy but I'm in Phoenix and don't get to queen creek much. I checked out your profile and saw you're a veteran. I do Buddy Checks on Vets to see how they're doing. How are you? I don't know if you're on X but if so you can find me at @Buddy_Checker
website TheBuddyChecker.Com
I know this is a little weird, but I'm genuine. Have a blessed weekend. And if you or a Vet you know needs help with anything please let me know.
I don't mind coming across as weird if it means saving a life.
Don't be shy. You can do this too.

This would make a good comment for veterans with PTSD. Fair warning 👇🏼

Hello Troops and Friends, I hope everyone is having a blessed day.
Sometimes Vets tell me they don't feel worthy of a Buddy Check because they never saw combat. I tell them every job in the military is important.
Just like a well oiled machine, if one part is missing, nothing is fully operational, which can lead to heavy consequences.
Delivering mail brings blessings from home. Cooks keep service members well fed and healthy. So many jobs that never get recognized or mentioned, yet without them, our military would be at a great disadvantage.
Those who fuel are just as important as those who fly.
There is nothing to be ashamed of. Whatever job you did, I know you served well, with pride, dignity, and honor. I have much respect to you for that.
Being called a veteran means so much more than a word, or job description. Being a veteran means you were drafted, enlisted, and did your best. Selflessly serving. Giving it your all.
So yes, Buddy Checks are for you too.
No judgement. No criticism. No condemning. Just an honest, hey, how you doing? And if you need help, we're here and care.
We don't look at rank, years served, which wars, peacetime, combat or not. Every Veteran matters, and that includes you.

This is what it's all about. Lifting each other up. No one feeling alone. Sharing hope, faith, and goodness, makes the world a better place.

We can learn a lot from beautiful hearts with Autism. They appreciate simple things in life. See things from a different and gifted perspective. They don't forget kindness given. They love unconditionally in return.

Take a minute and tell someone hi.
You never know how much the could affect their day and it may be exactly what they needed to step back from the ledge.
