Today’s Action: Take action for Veterans’ Day!
As we celebrate America’s service members on this national holiday, let’s also not lose sight of one of the many tragic truths of war — far too many suffer from long-term health complications from their tours of duty, homelessness, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Some soldiers make the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield while others pay that same price over many years after returning home.
Take some time this Veterans Day to serve those in your community. Here are several suggestions:
- Call or email your local VA facility, or fill out their volunteer form.
- Know a veteran? The Veteran History Project wants their story! Conduct and record an interview remotely over Zoom or Skype to be added to the VHP archives.
- Donate your old vehicle to the National Veterans Foundation! They’ll arrange pick-up and even improve your car before selling, raising the value of your donation.
- Reach out to veterans. If you have veterans in your life, it’s more important than ever to simply call them up to ask how they’re managing, and if they’re honoring Veteran's Day. For many, today is a very personal, somber day of reflection for lost comrades.
Pick the volunteer activity that most speaks to you this Veterans’ Day — and organize your community to join you!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition to stop Ron DeSantis' absurd plan to fill schools with unqualified teachers, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
