Veteran's Day

Thank You!

We Respect and give Thanks to our real life Heroes - our Veterans!

Remember to say Thank You to those who served and those who continue to serve. That's the least we can do to thank those who made our freedom possible, those who continue to keep us safe and lend a hand when dire calamities hit unexpectedly. They are our real life heroes!

Sometimes, saying a Thank You is not enough. Encourage your parents to donate to a cause that supports Veterans! Here's an article that appeared in International Journal of Mental Health Systems in 2017; the article sheds light into why Veterans need more than a thank you.
