Show your support for our service members this Military Appreciation Month - honor them with donations, thank you notes, and more!
Let's show our appreciation and honor those who have served and are currently serving in the military by celebrating Military Appreciation Month this May! Established in 1999, this month-long event serves to recognize and thank all members of the U.S. Armed Forces for their service, sacrifice, and dedication to defending our nation. It's a time for us to come together as a nation and express our admiration for those who have courageously put their lives on the line for us. Whether you choose to volunteer your time or make a donation, there are many ways we can show our appreciation during this special month.
Take the time to write a letter or email to a service member and thank them for their service. It will be especially meaningful if you can find someone who you know personally.
Organize a donation drive to support veterans and military families. Reach out to local businesses for donations, and set up collection boxes in public places.
Check your local area for military events, such as parades, celebrations, and memorial services. Show your support by attending and bringing along friends and family.
Fly the American flag at your home or workplace to show your support for the men and women of the U.S. military.
Consider volunteering at a VA hospital or with an organization that supports veterans. You can also join your local Veterans of Foreign Wars organization and help out with their activities.
Every year, millions of brave men and women selflessly serve their country in the armed forces. During Military Appreciation Month, we recognize their invaluable contributions to our nation by showcasing their service and honoring them for their courage and dedication.
Military Appreciation Month is a great opportunity to increase public awareness of both current military issues and those that have been unresolved for many years. When civilians take time out of their lives to educate themselves on such issues, they become more informed and ultimately, better equipped to advocate for the soldiers who have fought, sacrificed, or are still fighting alongside all of us.
We must never forget that there are men and women around the world who are sacrificing their safety and comfort every day in order to protect our liberty and freedom. By celebrating Military Appreciation Month, we show our gratitude towards them through acts of kindness such as sending care packages or writing letters to those overseas. It's our way of saying thank you for your bravery and dedication!
