In 2008, the first Veterans' Court was created.

We pay great tribute to the veterans of the Second World War.

The Afghanistan's New Beginnings Programme is now focused on ensuring the sustainable reintegration of ex combatants into their communities and the legal economy.

A key objective of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration for foreign child combatants should be to repatriate them to their countries of origin.

The years go by and so do the decades, carrying us ever farther from the spring of 1945, but the heroic deeds of the veterans will never fade from people's memory.

In addition, there must be adequate resources available to sustain, in the long term, the follow up reintegration programmes for former combatants, including women and children.

On the Facebook page Black Canadian Veterans Stories of War, the son of a Barbadian war veteran and poet posted a personal photo of a smiling Clarke in a tuxedo, pipe dangling from his mouth, explaining

We must increase our interest in and efforts for the development of quick impact projects that can provide economic occupations, in particular to ex combatants and, within that group, to the youth and the women.

The move from New Jersey in the summer of 2012 marked the return to Long Island for the franchise, which played at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum from 1972 1977.

In this regard we have left the door open for ex combatants, especially those of the RUF, who want real peace, to come forward now and take advantage of the DDR programme before it is too late. Their safety is assured.

A distinct programme for former child combatants should strive to include, as much as possible from the outset, the participation of local communities in planning and managing the children's rehabilitation and reintegration into society.

It should be noted that previous studies conducted in 2001 02 on the real number of combatants have always produced far lower figures, with an overall number of combatants barely above 15,000, counting all groups.

Particular attention should be paid to programmes for children as there was a great risk for ex combatants who had previously benefited from disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programmes to be recruited again by fighting parties should the society relapse into violence.

Despite the disarmament of 15,600 former combatants in Ituri, the National Commission for Demobilization and Reinsertion continues to face difficulties in discharging its responsibilities, in particular the payment of demobilization allowances to ex combatants, which has led to increased discontent among them.

In January 2013 Senator Patty Murray, Chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, sponsored an amendment of the National Defense Authorization Act (S.3254) that would require peer counseling as part of a comprehensive suicide prevention program for US veterans.
