What to and What not to say when the Veterans Come Home
What not to say...
Don't ask if they killed anyone
Don't tread too gently around vets because you assumed everyone has experienced trauma
Don't ask them to put difficult experiences behind them
Don't snap even if they snap
Don't describe their experiences for them
What to say...
Ask before throwing a welcome home party
Give updates on fellow troops from a vets unit
Dole out the tough love when necessary
Ask detailed questions relating to individual questions
Say "Thank you for your service"
