The Door You Thought Was Closed

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. For years, you've probably told yourself that someone else needs the spot more. Maybe you came back in one piece, or your deployment didn't look like the movies, so you let the idea settle in that VA healthcare is for the guys who really hurt. But there is no line you have to bleed past to receive what you earned. You served; that is the only qualifier. Checking doesn't take a single thing from another veteran, and it costs you nothing. It is okay to take up space in a system built for you. Let's talk about the door you thought was closed, why we keep ourselves out, and how to finally look inside.
