Show your gratitude this Veterans Day.
November 11
th is Veterans Day, a national holiday that honors members of our military both past and present. On this day, show your appreciation for those who so bravely served our country. Here are some ways you can thank these true American heroes.
1) Attend an Event or Fundraiser
There are many parades, services, and fundraisers held in honor of Veterans Day. Take this opportunity to gather family and friends and show your support for our veterans. Simply showing up will show our veterans that we remember them and that we care.
2) Donate
Another way to show your appreciation on Veterans Day is to donate to legitimate organizations that offer assistance, support, and services to past and present service members. Some organizations that are deserving of your donations include
Disabled American Veterans (DAV), the
Wounded Warrior Project, and
Homes for Our Troops.
3) Visit a VA Hospital
A great way to show your gratitude is to visit a veteran's hospital this Veterans Day. Volunteer and help the hospital staff with their daily duties, or simply visit and spend the day with a veteran. Unfortunately, many veterans do not receive regular visitors. So, on this day, make an effort to brighten their day with the gift of companionship and conversation.
4) Thank a Service Member
One of the easiest ways to show your gratitude is to directly thank a member of our military. Reach out to friends or family members that have served and ask them about their service. Try to focus on the positive memories they have and ask questions to show them that you are genuinely interested in them. Remember, not every veteran will want to speak about their time serving, and that's okay. Be supportive and non-intrusive and simply listen to what they have to say. Even something as simple as this will speak volumes.
