Assisting a Veteran on Memorial Day

Monday, May 25, 2020, By Keith Kobland
Share

Memorial Day is the day set aside to honor and mourn military members who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. We do this in a number of ways, including graveside services and displaying the United States flag. Ken Marfilius, professor of social work at Falk College, suggests that while honoring our fallen troops it’s also important to remember the men and women who have served and may be suffering from additional stress and anxiety due to the pandemic. Prof. Marfilius offers one simple and practical bit of advice to help.
