Ideas to Honor U.S. Veterans on Veterans Day

Veterans Day is a holiday established by the U.S. government to honor those who have served their country. Observed on November 11, this holiday is also known as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day in other countries. Show your appreciation to our military veterans by using some of the ideas below!

Writing a letter to a service member is a great way to personally thank a person who is protecting our freedom. Get your children involved or write your own letter to brighten a soldier's day.

Operation USO Care Package provides the comforts of home to military personnel serving overseas. With a $25 donation, you can provide a personal message of appreciation that will be included in a care package that will be sent to a soldier. The USO offers holiday boxes as well.

To show your support, you can bring baked goods or flowers to a local Veterans Hospital. Volunteering to spend time with veterans is another great way to express your gratitude for their service.

Attend a parade. Military veterans, members of the National Guard and civic groups often walk or ride in parades to celebrate this special holiday. Bring your own flags to wave in order to show support.
