5 ways to say “Thank you for your Service” to a Veteran
CaliBred sponsored blog
We would like to say, “Thank You For Your Service” by being
active members of our community and preserving our American way of life.
1.
Volunteer at the local VA Hospital. You can go
and spend time with a Veteran once every couple of weeks. Maybe you can help
with general tasks around the hospital in your chosen field, while gaining much
needed work experience? This is a great way to enrich the lives of others in
your community.

2.
Helping Hands can go a long way. Offer your help
to a Veteran once per month with general tasks. Can you do something useful for
a Veteran around their home? Are you able to paint a fence, or give them some
assistance with a general home-improvement project? Offer your help.
3.
Read books and tell motivational stories at
local schools. Ensure that you go through the proper channels at a local school
and read books for the youth. Which local school has a program that can use
volunteers? You can be a good example for a young student seeking a mentor. You
can start a lifelong, meaningful relationship in your community too. Don’t be
afraid to be a Leader.

4.
Start a community “Area Beautification” project.
You can think of the area as your personal memorial to U.S. military Veterans.
Give the place a nickname, and even try to get city officials involved if you
can. We live to honor those who have sacrificed our way of living. Let’s
preserve our beauty so it can inspire future generations of Americanism.
5.
Teach. Coach. Mentor. Sometimes it can be hard
to ask for help when people expect you to be a hero. Offer your Digital
Technology help to a Veterans organization. Teach basic computer skills at a
group like the American Legion, Team RWB, or similar Veterans Service
Organizations. Sending an e-mail, setting up a Facebook, and small tasks like
these might be difficult for some people in our community.

This is how you say, “Thank You For Your Service” to a
Veteran. We offer value in the community that we live in. We set the example.
We take on Leadership roles. We help people who need it most. We preserve the
American way of life.
CaliBred knows that Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day have
different meanings, but they honor the same community of people who have served
in the U.S. military and their families. Our hearts go out to anyone who has
lost their loved one in the U.S. military. We know your family feels their
sacrifice daily, and we will not forget their willingness to serve in our
military to protect our country.
We hope that when a civilian says, “Thank You For Your
Service.” They actually mean it by doing something proactive and useful in
their community. Let’s start by helping the military Veterans in the state of
California get access to the resources that they have earned.
