As we come out of celebrating USMC's 233rd birthday, we migrate into Veterans Day. To all of my fellow veterans...Enjoy your Veterans Day! There are many things we can do to celebrate Veterans Day throughout the year.
Take a moment and send an email, provide pet foster care, send a care package, donate blood, donate frequent flyer miles, pray, or volunteer in your community.
eMom (e mail our military)
Armed Forces Network (AFN)
History Channel's Take a Veteran to School Day
Most of the links provide supplemental information for teachers and parents to teach children more about the day and how to say, "Thank you" to the many veterans they see everyday
A few more ways to honor our heroes this Veterans Day:
• Write a veteran a thank-you note, or send a letter to an entire VFW or American Legion post.
• Write a letter/Send an email to a Soldier currently serving in Iraq or Afghanistan.
• Talk to your children about who veterans are, what they do and what their service means to our country.
Thank you Veterans! We will never forget.
What special way do you remember your veterans?

Thank you for for promoting Veteran's Day. My father was a WWII veteran, Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart. He was always thrilled to be recognized on Veteran's Day. It is impossible for me to communicate his patriotism. His strong belief that America is the best country in the world left a profound mark on many lives. Today we took flowers to his his final resting place at the Memorial Gardens in our local cemetery. I miss him. Thank you for remembering him.
