Veterans Strengthen Our Nation… and Our Health Today, we recognize veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. Veterans Day also provides a special opportunity to consider the important relationships between our veterans and the missions of NIH and NLM. Veterans have not only volunteered to contribute to national safety through military service, but many also choose to volunteer to contribute deidentified data related to their health, lifestyles, and genetic information in support of groundbreaking and lifesaving biomedical research. As a distinctively specialized and diverse population, these veterans and their contributions have a unique potential to improve health worldwide. By coordinating with other federal agencies, NLM has played an important role in making their contributions of health and genetic data available to the research community.
