(CNN) It is typically a time where the great and good of the NBA showcase their unique skills to an assembled crowd of fans and A-list celebrities.

The main event of the day will still be the All-Star Game -- where the league's best players duke it out -- with the skills challenge and the three-point contest happening beforehand.

Partnerships needed to support the military-to-civilian transition
Military homecomings are often portrayed as picture-perfect when for many they can be harder than being away. The joy of reuniting fades, routines are disrupted and real life sets back in not long after the “Welcome Home” ceremony is over. The eventual transition from military to civilian life can be especially difficult given that, in an instant, you’re uprooting family yet again — but this time — you (and often your spouse ) are joining a new, unfamiliar community, seeking a new identity and managing a (typically dual) career pivot all at once.
