Things You'll Need:
- Just a willing heart to serve those who served!
-
Step 1
The easiest way to honor our military is by recognizing them. If you see a soldier in uniform or a veteran (usually identifiable by a hat, jacket or bumper sticker), walk up, say thank you for their service, and shake their hand. This small gesture goes a long way!
-
Step 2
Send a letter! If you don't know anyone serving in the military, visit AMillionThanks.org. It's fast, easy and will make a difference.
-
Step 3
Send a care package! Several great organizations exist to help Americans support our troops in combat with care packages. Even if you don't know someone who is deployed, you can still send a care package. Join forces with Operation Gratitude, AnySoldier.com, Operation Care Package, Packages From Home, Operation We Care, The Kitchen Table Gang, Give2TheTroops.com, and more!

Step 4
Donate your time. Volunteer for a local organization, like the American Legion. You can join thousands of volunteers from across the nation in placing flags on veterans' gravesites this Memorial Day.
-
Step 5
Give money! The fastest way to support our service members is by donating your money to a worthy organization. There are many to choose from. I suggest the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. 100% of donations go to their efforts, including the construction of a huge facility in Bethesda Maryland which will provide treatment for Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
