Happy Veterans Day
Happy Veterans Day – November 11th is the one day set aside each year to honor those who have served and continue to serve our nation. Not to be confused with Memorial Day, the day we pay tribute to fallen service members, Veterans Day offers a great opportunity to teach civilians about the sacrifice service members and their families make year-round.
Ways to honor veterans this Veterans Day:
Organize a care-package packing event this Veterans Day.
If you don’t know someone currently stationed overseas, contact a nearby base or an organization like Blue Star Moms to identify troops overseas right now. Did you know that our troops really want in their care packages? It is true! Things to occupy them during downtime (video games, board games, cards, movies, music, books, model kits), personal items (body wash, lip balm, mentholated topical ointment, pain-relieving topic cream, lens-cleaning cloths, small bottles of glass cleaner, baby wipes, sunscreen), snacks (hot sauce, water flavoring packets, beef jerky, sunflower seeds, a bottle of barbecue sauce from a local restaurant – must be non-perishable), and sentimental things (such as a handwritten letter or videos of family members/events on a USB drive).
Visit a veterans’ hospital this Veterans Day.
If you don’t have a local VA office, contact an assisted living or nursing home facility nearby. Chatting with elderly or injured veterans is a great way to brighten their day, plus you’re likely to hear some highly fascinating stories about their time in the service. Take flowers or an activity they could do in bed.
Take time out of the day to acknowledge veterans in your workplace.
Consider an office-wide coffee break featuring patriotic-themed snacks. During the event, make sure to recognize each veteran employee. (Plan to make sure you don’t miss anyone.)
