On Veterans Day we thank those in uniform serving today and those who have served in the past for their sacrifice. There are more than 16 million veterans in the United States, which is over 6% of the total civilian population age 18 and over. An unknown author said, “We don’t know them all, but we owe them all.” Until 1954, Veterans Day was known as “Armistice Day,” celebrating the armistice agreement that ended WWI on November 11, 1918. In 1954, President Eisenhower had the name changed to Veterans Day. In his 2023 Veterans Day Proclamation, President Biden wrote, “This Veterans Day, we honor the generations of women and men who have served and sacrificed — not for a person, a place, or a President — but for an idea unlike any other: the idea of the United States of America…Our veterans and their families give so much to our Nation, and we owe them a debt we can never fully repay… “This Veterans Day, may we honor the incredible faith that our veterans hold, not just in our country but in all of us. They are the solid-steel backbone of our Nation, and we must endeavor to continue being worthy of their sacrifices by working toward a more perfect Union and protecting the freedoms that they have fought to defend…I encourage all Americans to recognize the valor, courage, and sacrifice of these patriots through appropriate ceremonies and private prayers and by observing two minutes of silence for our Nation’s veterans.” Full Presidential Veterans Day Proclamation: https://lnkd.in/dH_GDCEC. #USArmySignalCorps #Signalcorps #USARMY @US_CYBERCOM @ARCYBER @armyfutures @Signal_School @US_CYBERCOM #VeteransDay

Military service represents a profound commitment and sacrifice. One way to honor this dedication is to ensure that what matters to Veterans are respected and honored throughout their care. Having conversations with older adults about their preferences for end-of-life care can be difficult, especially when they have unique experiences and needs like Veterans. 📑 GUIDE | To help families and clinicians start these conversations, IHI partnered with The Conversation Project to develop a guide on discussing end-of-life care with Veterans. View the guide and their other resources for improving care for Veterans here: https://ow.ly/nqGx50Q9Ag4 🧰 TOOLKIT | Patient Priorities Care produced a toolkit and training modules specific for VA sites to implement its gold-standard approach to helping older patients understand and identify their care priorities, especially when facing multiple chronic conditions: https://lnkd.in/gQ4-Qs7Z #Veterans #EndOfLife #AgeFriendlyCare
