Last Friday was Veterans Day! What did you do to show your respect for our fighting men and women? If you are still looking for ideas, here is something that might be of interested to you:
Joining Forces is a comprehensive national initiative to mobilize all sectors of society to give our nation’s service members and their families the opportunities and support they have earned. First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden encourage all Americans to recognize, honor, and support our military families. The campaign seeks to create greater connections between the American public and the military.
Select a volunteer opportunity in your community to honor service members, veterans, and military families. (Examples: mentor a child, clean up a park, plant a garden, donate to a particular charity, make a meal for a neighbor in need, etc....) If you're already volunteering in your community, you can dedicate your service to honor the service of the military community. When you find the right project for you, don’t forget to register and pledge your hours of community service as well:joiningforces.allforgood.org
You can also get involved by sharing your message of thanks with a military family, and it will be delivered by the USO: whitehouse.gov/joiningforces/message
