Honoring Hospitalized Veterans You can pay them a visit and tell them we haven't forgotten them. You can thank them for protecting the U.S.A.! I agree, pay them a visit. Remember that the VA Hospital is there year around, one does not just have to visit on Veterans Day.
The Vets in the hospitals might like the paperback books you have read. Some of these Vets do not have any family who care I agree with the above answers and would like to add one of my own. Talk to them.
Better yet listen to them. You will be amazed at how much you will learn. Many of their stories will make you laugh, some will make you cry.
The most important thing, though, is that they will know they are not forgotten, that their service means something. If you love your country, thank a veteran I also agree, veterans need company in the hospital. As long as they are around you should tell them how thankful you are, they would really appreciate it You know what's funny, I ALSO agree!
You should pay them a visit and/or give tham flowers. Listen to their stories and how they surrvived. Thank then for helping us be free!
Generally, war veterans love nothing more than talking about the war. Remember that it was their war. Ask them specific questions about the regions where they were stationed during the battles or in between the fighting.
You may do it on a return visit after researching which questions might be most interesting for the former soldiers. Usually, their relatives are tired of hearing the stories over and over again. Therefor, imagen how happy a veteran will be to find some new attentive ears.
One of the primary missions of The American Legion is to make sure that our veterans and their families receive the support and recognition they deserve. Every member of our organization is a wartime veteran. We know how important it is to receive the support of our fellow citizens during and after our military service.
Saying thank you is not always enough to truly honor America's newest generation of warriors and veterans. Their unique needs require that we support and recognize these needs and take action to make a difference for these brave men and women. Every citizen of the United States benefits from their service, and should join with The American Legion in supporting them.
We should all be aware that the real and unique issues women veterans face is critical in today's military environment. We must press to make sure that these issues are addressed during and after their military service. The unemployment rate of transitioning service members is growing and The American Legion is in the trenches working with employers to hire returning veterans by partnering in job fairs and offering small business workshops for veterans.
Through programs such as Operation Comfort Warriors, The American Legion is involved in numerous ways to aid and support wounded, injured and ill veterans and their families. OCW has provided more than $1 million of assistance to wounded warrior units, VA medical centers and military hospitals around the world. There are many ways you could support a wounded warrior in your community.
The Family Support Network and Temporary Financial Assistance programs support military families during times of deployment when help can be needed most.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
