A Day for Real Heroes

Comic books and movies are a great escape. You feel inspired when patriotic icons like Captain America rallies the troops or Superman saves the day. In the real world heroes don’t wear royal blue and don’t automatically receive cheers. So on this Veterans Day, I want to share a post about heroes and the reality many of them face when they come home.

My day job is at KOMO 4, the ABC station in Seattle. Our news team produced a compelling special, Help on the Homefront. This report demonstrates the challenges veterans face after serving our country and the services available in Washington. I hope this post will inspire you to remember what this day is all about and perhaps find a way to help a Veteran.

 Thanks to all the men and women serving our country.
