Is one day enough?

Hey Driver,

Veterans Day is this Tuesday.
A day meant for recognition, gratitude, and reflection.

And I’ve been thinking about something simple, but real:

Is one day a year enough?

I don’t come from a military background myself.
I don’t want to speak for anyone else’s experience.
I also want to be very clear —

this isn’t about politics, sides, debates, or who’s right.

Service means different things to different people.
People’s experiences and feelings are their own.
This note isn’t to persuade or convince —

just to listen, learn, and hold space.

So, if you’re open to it, I’d like to ask:

• How do you observe Veterans Day, if you do at all?

• Is there someone in your life who served?

• What has their experience taught you — or shaped in you?

And because many in this community receive Veterans-related emails and notices:

• Are there benefits or support programs that have actually helped?

• Which ones feel confusing, slow, or tied up in red tape?

• If one thing in the system could improve, what would make a real difference?

There’s no pressure to respond.

But if you want to share — even a sentence — I’ll read every reply with care.

This community runs on lived experience, not speeches.
