Honoring the
Memory of Our
Heroes in Uniform

On Memorial Day, we pause to reflect on the service

and sacrifice of the men and women of our Armed
Forces. We honor the memory of those who lost their
lives protecting our nations freedom, and we salute all
those who have served in our military past and present.
Their selfless dedication reminds us that freedom is
not free, and we will never forget their courage and
extraordinary contribution to our country.

he men and women who defend the

liberties and freedoms of the countries
they represent hold a special place in
peoples hearts and an eternal spot in
their countries histories.
Any opportunity is a good time to commemorate
the bravery and selfless deeds of military
personnel, but certain prominent holidays in
November make this an especially important time
to thank veterans for their service.
November 11 is Veterans Day in the United
States and Remembrance Day in Canada. Its also
known as Armistice Day in other parts of the world.
These holidays honor all military veterans who

have provided service to their countries, and that

each falls on November 11 is no coincidence, as
the day commemorates the anniversary of the end
of World War I on the 11th hour of the 11th day of
the 11th month of 1918.
Many places around the world pause and
remember fallen veterans on November 11, but a
good majority of Veterans Day and Remembrance
Day commemorative events focus on past and
current veterans who are still alive. There are many
ways to honor the military at home and abroad in
time for the November festivities. The following
are just a handful of ways to show appreciation for
military men and women.

When dining out, ask your server if you can

pay the tab for a soldier or veteran you see in the
restaurant.
Attend a military parade with your family and
explain the significance of the day to children in
attendance.
Draft letters and send care packages to soldiers
currently in service far away from home.
Ask your company if Veterans Day or
Remembrance Day can be an observed holiday at
your place of business each year to pay homage
to servicemen and women.
Visit a military memorial in a city near you. Your
town also may have its own memorial.
Petition town officials to erect a memorial if your
town does not already have one. Such memorials
can be a source of inspiration for your community.
Support a military family in your town who may
be missing a loved one stationed elsewhere. Make
meals, mow the lawn, help with grocery shopping,
or simply provide emotional support.
Volunteer time at a veterans hospital. You may
be able to read with veterans or engage in other
activities.
Get involved with a military support charity that
can provide much-needed funds to struggling
families or disabled veterans.
Have children speak with veterans in your
family, including grandparents, uncles and aunts
or even their own parents. It can help them gain
perspective on the important roles the military
plays.
Ask a veteran to give a commencement speech
at a school or to be the guest of honor at a special
function.
Drive disabled veterans to doctors
appointments or to run any errands.
Support a local VFW organization.
Create a scrapbook for a veteran in your life.
Cheer for or thank military personnel each time
you see them.
Visit the veterans portion of a nearby cemetery
and place poppies or other flowers on the graves.
Always keep the military on your mind and never
forget those who have served and didnt return
home.
Armistice Day, Remembrance Day and Veterans
Day are great ways to honor past and current
military for their service and sacrifice.

How to

GIVE BACK
to
veterans

embers of the military

serve their country
proudly, often sacrificing
the luxuries of home
and time spent with
their families to do so. When
veterans return home from training
or deployment, many people want
to show how much they appreciate
the sacrifices made by the men and
women of the military, but dont
know the best way to share that
appreciation.
Donations to a veterans charity is
one measure of support the public can
offer. Many charities work to serve
the needs of veterans. The Wounded
Warrior Project provides rehabilitation,
counseling and activities for veterans
who were wounded during service,
while Homes for Our Troops remodels
homes or builds them for troops who
were injured and need their homes
remodeled as a result of their injuries.
The USO provides a variety of services
for veterans and can always use
donations or volunteers.
Another way to help veterans is
to assist with their pets. Some dogs
and cats get left behind when troops
are deployed or forced to move.
Volunteering to foster a pet until a
soldier returns is another way to give
back. Some military service dogs can
be injured or traumatized during battle.
Working dogs can be rehabilitated or
adopted upon returning home.

According to the organization

Veterans, Inc., veterans are more at
risk of becoming homeless than those
who do not serve in the military. Some
causes of homelessness include
lack of education and transferable
skills after returning from military life.
Physical and mental health issues
can make finding work challenging.
Some veterans may cope with trauma
resulting from their deployment by
leaning on drugs and alcohol, and
that can interfere with their ability to
get and/or keep jobs. Individuals can
help veterans by opening their homes
to friends and family members who
may need a temporary place to stay.
Encourage veterans to embrace job
training programs or seek therapy if
necessary.
Providing support to military
personnel both past and present
can mean a world of difference.
Correspond with veterans through
mail, email or text messages.
Operation American Soldier
establishes connections between
civilians and troops so that all soldiers
receive daily mail, whether its a care
package or letter of thanks.
Other simple ways people can give
back to troops is to personally thank
them for serving their country. Share
time with veterans and ask to spend
time listening to their stories and
experiences.
