This Veterans Day and beyond, Americans can show thanks to those who have served the country by sharing a moment of gratitude and making real connection, says USAA, the financial services company.
It's easy to say 'thank you for your service' to an American veteran and move on a moment later. But what about true and meaningful connection that really lasts? For Veterans Day this year, a prominent company is hoping that Americans, no matter where they are or who they are, will go beyond the simple words of 'thank you' and become 'intentional in showing appreciation for our nation’s servicemembers' through a healthy act of connection.
'This is one team — and this effort can bring us together as a country.' Another way to show gratitude: Stop by a local American Legion or VFW post or event. Drop by a VA hospital. Check in with community centers about veterans events. It's about being intentional, said USAA.
