If you are reading this in English, thank a veteran.
Our veterans need our support. Most of us express support in words... but then we take our ball and go home. We leave it to others to actually DO things in support of those who secure our freedom. I submit to you that if EVERYONE did this, NOTHING would get done. Be part of the solution. Who better to do something than you? You can't save the world but if you add your small contribution to those of others... and then others add theirs... and still others... think what could happen?
If you don't have money to spare, donate your time. If you don't have time to spare, take a few moments to pass on links or emails or web sites to inform others. No contribution is too small. There is nothing worse than apathy when it comes to our veterans. Their needs don't end with their service. What they've done for us is immeasurable. I submit to you that each and every one of us should do SOMETHING to be worthy of the gifts we've been given by others. And if those ideas don't hit home, consider this: What if we do such a poor job of responding to the needs of our veterans that serving in our armed forces becomes unattractive and undesirable? What if those who might serve decide that we aren't worth the effort? I can't imagine that would ever happen... but where would we be?? We know they don't do it for the money. They do it for US.
DO SOMETHING. NOW.
There are many outstanding veterans organizations and advocacy groups. Here are just a few places one might start:
Rolling Thunder - Don't forget our service members who never made it home.
Disabled American Veterans - Not everyone comes home without trauma or injury.
No response to “Do Something.”
