NOVEMBER

Hi Sisters and Brothers,

 

Happy November! We are so close to another year closing. I hope everyone is doing well. As you all know, Veterans Day is on the 11th. I have something to share with you. Something I’m sure we all do. Taken from All Rise

 

SIMPLE ACTS OF HONOR

We demonstrate how much we truly valve the members of our military through our actions. Here are some simple ways we can honor members of the military in our personal life, our community, and our country.

 

1.       Say "Thank you” and "happy Veterans Day.  These are small words and phrases, but they can mean a lot to someone who has served.

 

2.      Take a moment of silence during the 11thhour on the 11th day of the 11th month. This represents the official signing of the armistice but also demonstrates respect for the service of all veterans of U.S. armed forces.

 

3.      Patronize businesses that hire and otherwise support military members and veterans. Support businesses recognizing Veterans Day or offering discounts or free items to veterans. Check out: military.com/discounts for a full list.

 

 

4.      Support a military spouse or family. Take them a meal or flowers, mow their lawn, or offer to babysit, if they have children. Helping in practical ways honors their loved one’s service and sacrifice and makes them feel supported. For more ways to show appreciation on Veterans Day, visit: military.com

 

Have a happy Veterans Day.

 

I wish you all a very special and Happy Thanksgiving.

 

Thank you all for what you do for our veterans and their families.
