10 Small Ways to Appreciate Our Veterans
To all our veterans — we solute you today.
Today, many of our armed forces servicemen & women will be in their uniforms or fatigues. When you spot them, here are a few simple ways that you can bless them and show your appreciation:
1. Go over to them and actually express your gratitude and appreciation for their service to our country. Might sound corny, but they’ll really appreciate it.
2. Invite a veteran and his or her family over to your house for a nice, tasty home-cooked meal. (key word ~ tasty!)
3. Listen to a veteran. Let them talk and share, and don’t interrupt them…really, really listen.
4. Do something nice or special for their children.
5. Purchase their gas at the gas station.
6. Baby-sit their kids for the evening so that they can have a nice quiet evening out, or a quiet evening at home.
7. If you see a uniformed veteran in your rearview mirror at a drive thru, pay for their meal at the window!
8. Gift cards to their favorite shop, restaurant or store.
9. Stop by your local drycleaner, ask them to spin the rack and see if they have any military uniforms (they’ll do it!) and you pay the ticket!
10. Pray for them and their families.
