Veterans Day: "Thank a Veteran" Activity

As part of the Veterans Day Events on 7 Cups, the Veterans and Military Support Community is collaborating with the Appreciation and Gratitude Community to hold a Thank a Veteran Activity!

🎖️ Everyone is welcome to thank and appreciate veterans worldwide in this thread.

🎖️ What do you think are effective ways to thank a veteran?

Here are some ideas to show thanks and appreciation to veterans:

Write a letter: Write a letter to a deployed soldier, a wounded warrior or a veteran who has served in past wars through sites like Operation Gratitude and others. Our Veterans and Military Support Community has a Letter Corner activity too!

Support their furry friends: Guardian Angels for Soldier's Pet is a non-profit organization that finds qualified foster families to care for pets while soldiers are deployed or when military families transfer overseas. The foster families also care for pets whose warriors have died.

Help them call home: Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) supports military veterans and their families through a variety of programs, including Operation Uplink. The program enables service members and hospitalized veterans to make free calls to loved ones back home for three days each month.

Donate DVDs: DVDs4Vets is a non-profit organization that was started to provide basic entertainment for veterans who return home with traumatic brain injuries and other serious wounds and are undergoing long-term rehabilitation.
