Veteran's Day is a day to loudly and proudly honor all of those who have bravely served our great country.
This year, while we're remembering all of those who have served in the past, let's also do something to support our current active military.
Don't have any ideas of what you could do? Well, here are just a few to get you started:
- Send a letter or care package. There are several
websites that you can check out to get you the right information for this. You can check out www.anysoldier.com, www.letterstosoldiers.org, and www.amillionthanks.org.
- Donate blood for troops in combat. There are blood banks and blood drives all over the country on an given day. Your blood may stay within your community, or it could be the life-saving nectar for someone protecting your freedom. You can check out www.militaryblood.dod.mil for more info.
- Offer up your unused frequent flyer miles at www.homemiles.org. This could not only get a soldier home for a little much needed R & R, but it could save us (taxpayers) a little dough, too.
- Volunteer to foster a military personnel's pet through www.netpets.org/militarypet/foster.php. So many of their beloved pet end up in shelters because they are leaving the country and can't take them along. How awesome would it be for them if someone could take care of their pet while they're away, and then when they return, their pet is waiting for them! I'm certain that's one of the best welcome-home gifts -- especially if their animals are their family!
- Donate sports equipment, games and more to the troops through www.give2thetroops.org. They do have some down-time, and while it isn't much, I'm sure it would be really nice to get a taste of home by being able to get a flag-football or basketball game going.
And don't forget to say THANK YOU to all past and active military this Veteran's Day (and after)!

I have sent care packages and once a month I send $25.00 for a phone card so he or she can call home.
This past Sunday we entered into the Wounded Warriors Run that was held in Lindenhurst, NY. It's an expensive run but it's well worth it!
Great post by the way! :)
