There are lots of ways to thank the men and women in the military, their families and also our veterans for their service. Let me name just a few:
- Write a check to the countless veteran’s organizations out there.
- Donate your airline miles.
- Hire a veteran or a military spouse.
- Support local veteran-owned businesses.
- Most importantly, remember to sincerely go up and thank them for the sacrifices they have made so you can live free in the best country in the world.
Some restaurants are making every effort to go out of their way to thank them by offering Veterans Day discounts.
