Situation
Veterans who trained together or served in the same combat area forge a bond that is almost unbreakable. This bond helps the soldiers during the worst times. A reunion allows these men to reconnect and share their experiences while they were in the service.
Veterans share similar experiences as well as the bonds of service and the oath to protect and serve. Each of the vets has walked along the path of the warrior and their shared experiences make each veteran stronger. These men would give their life to protect a fellow service member, or the civilians in the USA.
Reunions allow veterans to re-forge this bond, rekindle past friendships, and heal from past experiences together. These events can have a therapeutic benefit for veterans and it allows them to come together again and renew the relationships they had in the past.
