As Third Infantry Division Soldiers return home after more than a year overseas one organization is offering to help, The National Veterans Foundation.
A non-profit independent group whose goal is to give support to veterans and their families, especially those dealing with the effects of a deployment.
During the holidays some of those effects can be multiplied.
“If a veteran or family member is noticing a change in a veteran during the holiday season isolation maybe habits they've picked up that they didn't have before whether its smoking or drinking or hypertension they may be quick to anger,” explains Tyrone Ballesteros of the National Veterans Foundation.
Counselors can be reached via phone at 1-888-777-4443 or at nvf.org.
