Want to do something to support the troops? How about 101 things? The great folks at MilitaryAvenue.com have produced a wonderful list of ways to support the troops – many with links to getting the job done.
Here are a couple samples:
- Send a message of support on the "Thank the Troops Message Form" at OurMilitary.mil
- Take a Veteran out to eat; whether it is a fast-food chain or a fine-dining establishment. Tell them why you are bringing them out to eat.
- Are you a knitter or crocheter? Make a scarf for the cold-winters ahead. Donate them at a local-VFW for a veteran in need or contact Operation Gratitude to see how to donate.
- Listen to their stories with interest. If they are a war-veteran they have seen things you will never see. Listen and Learn.
- Call and Visit a local nursing home or VA Hospital. Find out what you can do to help. If you quilt make a blanket for a needy veteran. If you bake call and find out if you can bring in something special. Bring a book to read to a veteran "ready and willing" to listen. We all have talents that can be used.
- Send an 'E-Card' through the American Legion to the Veterans in your life that use email.
