Looking for ways to support our troops, beyond slapping a yellow ribbon magnet on the back of your car? I highly recommend the following organizations:

The USO has a blog post with specific things you can do, TODAY, on Veterans Day, to honor and support our Veterans. Check it out!

Teachers: I know from personal experience, that the troops LOVE to receive cards, letters and drawings from school children. Please consider having your students take a few moments to write to them. If you don't know of a particular member of the Armed Forces, simply have them address it "Dear Hero." (Check out Operation Gratitude for mailing information.) It will warm their hearts and brighten their days - both the writer and the recipient - I promise you!
Everyone can do something - whether it is a financial donation, knitting or crocheting scarves, or simply saying a prayer.
