To our Veterans, Heartfelt Thanks

November 11th, 2011. By AbiK

Happy Veteran’s Day to all those who served and continue to serve to keep our nation safe and free. Thank you.

If you’d like to help those who’ve served, please take a look at some of the volunteer opportunities below.

Disabled American Veterans (DAV) is where you can sign up to help provide transportation to vets who are unable to get to VA medical facilities themselves.

If you’re a pet lover, head over to Guardian Angels for Soldiers’ Pets. That’s where you can help take in a veteran’s pet while he or she is either serving our nation or receiving care at a VA medical facility.

Handy? Help ensure a wounded vet has a roof over his—and his family’s—head. Visit Homes for our Troops to find out where new homes are being built and how you can get involved or donate materials.

Just want to say “thank you” to a vet who’s currently serving? Send a care package (or make a monetary or packaged goods donation to support the creation of care packages). Here are a few websites to check out: Operation USO Care Package, Give 2 the Troops, and Soldier Packages.
