Veterans Day: Honoring Our Veterans

This Wednesday, November 11, we celebrate Veterans Day. This day gives us an opportunity to pay tribute to the brave men and women among us who have taken that very special oath to defend our country.

Did you know? The origins of the holiday began with Armistice Day, celebrating veterans of the Great War and later broadening — after WWII and the Korean War — into Veterans Day. It has come to represent a celebration of the Veterans in our military services who have served all wars, as well as in times of peace.

To our nation’s Veterans: You inspire and motivate us all. We are honored to support the military community and tomorrow, let us be the first and loudest to thank you for your service.

Please stay safe and give thanks to all those who serve and have served. #veteransday2020

Depression in older adults

October is National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month. Depression is an illness. It causes you to feel sad or hopeless much of the time. It is not the same as normal feelings of sadness, grief, or low energy.

Some people think that it is normal to feel depressed with age. But it's not. Older adults may go through major life changes or trials that cause depression. Some things that are more common among older adults are:

• Losing a spouse
• Living with a long-term health problem
• Leaving a home you've lived in for many years

Just like others who go through a life change, older adults may feel sad and may grieve and recover, or they may become depressed: https://bit.ly/3e9dd5h

October is National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month. Life is full of changes. Daily events and the way we react to them get in the way of our sense of well-being and peace of mind at times. It is common to get the blues or become sad when let down.

It is estimated that feelings of depression will affect about one-third of all adults in the United States at some time in their lives.
