Lake Worth Veteran Honored Nationally by VFW for #StillServing

Lake Worth veteran Justin Eggen is being honored for dedication to country and community in the VFW #StillServing campaign. The national Veterans of Foreign Wars #StillServing campaign recognizes veterans who continue to serve in their community after the military.

A US Marine veteran who served on the front lines in Afghanistan, Eggen continues to serve helping veterans with PTSD by writing national award-winning poetry that dives into PTSD issues. Eggen has written nine books, two of which have won awards.

He says his poetry is fueled by his combat experiences overseas. He traveled across the country multiple times on book tours and signings and has been told that his poetry helps them come to terms with things they saw in their combat experiences.

Along with helping other combat veterans, by writing and sharing his vulnerabilities and wartime experiences, he can educate others who may have a loved one dealing with similar struggles.

The VFW is proud to honor Eggen and encourages other veterans to share how they are still serving at vfw.org/stillserving.
