This Memorial Day, be sure to remember those who sacrificed their lives for this country. We also want to extend our gratitude for those who have served or currently serve. Let this day act as a reminder of how much they have sacrificed for us.
If you would like to give back this Memorial Day,
here are just a few organizations that help make it possible:
The Wounded Warrior Project enlists the public’s aid to help injured service members and provide the services they need to transition back to civilian life. To hear some of their individual stories, click here.
Salute, Inc. passionately pursues meeting the financial, physical, and emotional needs of military service members, veterans, and their families. Click here to hear some of their stories.
The Honor Flight Network allows veterans to visit their memorials. I personally have watched this program, Honor Flight Chicago, change the lives of several individuals. It is the least we can do after they have sacrificed so much for their country. For more information or to donate, click here.
Volunteer at your local VA medical center or nursing homes.
