## Caption

When #rhodeislandcollege M.S.W. student Jerome Musco Jr. was stationed in #Iraq as a military police officer in 2007, he and 11 other soldiers in his unit treasured receiving thoughtful, encouraging cards and notes from Americans, particularly schoolchildren. That’s one of the key points Musco emphasized to a curious group of more than 200 hbsric students gathered for a #VeteransDay observance. “Before going out on our daily missions, fellow soldiers and I would look at all the cards sent to us and they made us feel so uplifted,” he recalled.
🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Musco, who earned his B.S.W. at RIC in May 2018, said he’s depending on young students to ensure that veterans aren’t forgotten. “If the younger generation doesn’t know about the issues that veterans face, such as post-traumatic stress disorder or substance abuse, then who is going to help the veterans of the future? Children must be taught about the history of the military and what veterans have done for this country.” 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸#humansofRIC
