Summary

Veterans are often overwhelmed during the holidays due to the stress of family reunions and the pressure to sustain longer conversations. Those Veterans feeling extra anxiety during the Holiday Season are encouraged to utilize mental health tools that can provide help. Also, the VA has a new answer for Veterans who suffer from sleep apnea. FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Chris Lovell, CEO of Lovell Government Services, a Veteran-owned small business, who says Veterans in distress have outlets to turn to, and they should start with family and friends, but always know the VA hotline is there for them too.
