Miami, Florida, May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- What: Many people may not be aware of the various challenges military personnel face when they transition from active service to civilian life. These challenges include reconnecting with family members, entering the workforce, and relating to those who may not understand the experiences veterans have endured during their active duty.
