Abstract
Nurses understanding of military culture has the potential to recognize mental illness and disability. Active duty personnel are apprehensive to seek mental health assistance due to the associated stigma (Convoy, 2013). Nurses provide a critical bridge in veterans obtaining appropriate mental health care. Nurse education should include training about veterans.
