Write Letters/ Make Cards

Writing “Thank You for Your Service” cards or letters to our veterans that can be included in their “Mail Call” envelope that is given to each veteran as they ride the bus back to the airport at the end of our trip. Veterans love to receive letters from the younger generation – as it renews their faith in the future of our country and assures them that they are not forgotten. Many veterans are very sentimental and emotional about the mail they receive and all enjoy their mail call very much.

(1) Individually wrapped snacks are passed out during the day to the veterans. (2) Disposable cameras are given to those veterans who do not have a camera of their own. (3) Making a trinket or keepsake that could be given to the vet in their “Welcome Home” bag at the end of the trip.
