What Does a Veteran Look Like? Celebrating 16 Million Stories

What does a veteran look like? Maybe you picture something like this. Or this. Or this. But maybe not. Veterans might still wear their service pride. A unit shirt. A ship's cap. A patch on their jacket. Or maybe they've traded combat boots for sneakers. Suits. Or aprons. Veterans might share their war stories. Or carry them quietly. But one thing's true for all. Nearly 16 million strong, they raised their hand. Took the oath. Served our country. Veterans are teachers. Artists. Entrepreneurs. Volunteers. They grow gardens. Bake bread. Raise families. And build communities. Veterans are your coworkers. Your neighbors. Your friends. This... is what a veteran looks like.
