Happy #VeteransDay to all who have served

Volunteer this Veterans Day

Saturday, November 11, is Veterans Day. You can show your appreciation for our Nation’s veterans by volunteering. As the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) notes, “We may never be able to repay them for their sacrifice, but we can show them just how much we appreciate all that they have done.” Observe Veterans Day by volunteering your time to honor America’s service members. The VA offers several ways to volunteer: Use the Volunteer Service Locator to find opportunities close to you. Contact the VA Voluntary Service to Volunteer or Donate. Volunteer at a VA Medical Center. Students can gain experience and training with the Student Volunteer Program. For more information, visit http://www.va.gov/opa/vetsday/. The American Red Cross also has volunteer opportunities for those that want to support military families.
