Military Personnel Meet My Angel Alert Band
Are You the Partner, Parent, or Adult Child of a Military Member?
As of September 2023 the US military has 2.86 million members making it the world’s third largest active military, surpassed only by that of India and China. In simple terms, this means the probability that someone you know and love is associated with the military in some way is very high.
It is a harrowing consideration therefore that, intrinsically intertwined with the heroic nature of military service are the associated risks to life and health. Naturally, military personnel are at a far greater risk of physical injury when compared to those working a civilian job. Some of the most common injuries sustained in combat include burns (second and third degree), shrapnel wounds, nerve damage, broken bones, paralysis, loss of senses (such as hearing and sight), brain injuries and loss of limbs.
Physical injuries make up the most obvious of harms posed to military members but certainly not the only nor the most prevalent. Historically, it is actually infectious diseases that have posed the greatest threat to the military's health. This can be attributed in part to shared living quarters and spending time overseas where certain diseases are more endemic. Governing officials in recent years have made tremendous efforts to mitigate against the threat of illness, however, the ever-evolving nature of infectious diseases has not made this an easy task.
Furthermore, our recent development in understanding around mental health has led us to recognize that active military members are also potentially at risk of such psychological harms as PTSD.
It is a sad reality, but a reality no less, that our brave military heroes are at risk of injury, illness and psychological harm. Therefore, if your husband, wife, significant other or someone else that you love dearly is serving, it is completely natural to feel some level of anxiety about their wellbeing. Whilst there is no perfect solution to this, My Angel Alert Band can go a long way to putting your mind at rest. When your loved one is wearing a My Angel Alert Band, you can rest assured that in the case of a medical emergency, a first responder will be provided with a comprehensive list of their medical history and needs. This means that they will be given the exact treatment they need and deserve with no unnecessary delays. My Angel Alert Band can be the angel that watches over your brave and selfless hero as they proudly serve our country.
