Saying thank-you to a Veteran

There are a million ways to say thank you. Great or small they all have value. 

• Decide to always just say thank you whenever you see a person in uniform.
• When you see a person in uniform at the coffee shop or fast food restaurant pick up their tab if you can. 
• At the airport trade your first class or comfort seat for their standard seat
• If you have a neighbor who is deployed offer to play catch with the kids or mow the lawn. Ask how you can help
• Send a care package by contacting Operation Gratitude
• Donate your old cell phone
• Drive a Veteran to their doctor appointments (contact the hospital services coordinator at the local VA hospital)
• Write a letter
• Volunteer at a VA hospital
• If you run a business hire a veteran - Hire Heroes USA
• Donate dollars or time to train service dogs for veterans - Patriot Paws or Puppy Jake Foundation
• Build a house for a veteran - Building Homes for Heroes

Big dollars or only a few dollars, lots of time or only a little time, where there is a will there is a way to say thank you to those who serve in our military.
