Here are some ideas for celebrating our veterans on their special day that don’t require much planning.
- Visit a Veterans Memorial or Cemetery. Contrary to some social media posts, Veterans Day honors both fallen and living Veterans. Memorial Day is meant to honor those who paid the ultimate price.
- Serve the Veteran Community by volunteering or donating. You can combine this with your visit!
- Go to a Veterans Day event. It may take some searching, or you could create your own. Put up a flag!
- Create a moment of silence. A simple but powerful activity would involve concentrating on what our veterans make possible for us all.
