Veterans relate to this crisis in two ways. First, they fought and were wounded, physically and emotionally, in the conflicts that in part added to the refugee crisis. Second, they above all citizens have shown a commitment to service and to the maintenance of security for our own society.
If you put these two things together - a sense of connectedness to the crisis and a sense of duty - veterans would seem to be the ideal group to establish a system of identity for the displaced population.
