As the United States honors its military veterans, it's worth remembering that many of these heroes confront personal challenges after returning to civilian life.

Mainers are trying to help. Here are a couple of examples.

The social service nonprofit Preble Street operates a program that finds housing for Maine veterans experiencing homelessness. In the past year, the program has housed nearly 300 veterans and provided critical assistance for 600 more.

Maine businesses are also part of the solution. The annual Maine Hire-A-Vet Campaign, which wraps up this year on Nov. 25, works to connect veterans and employers through job fairs and other help. The campaign typically results in over 150 new hires.
