  Patriotic Ways to Support Veterans 

It’s a great day to be free.  Have you thanked a Veteran today for fighting for your freedom?

There are many ways to offer support to our veterans beyond telling them, "Thank you for your service.”  A few ideas are listed below:

• Host patriotic holiday parties for Veterans, active-duty military and their families.  The comrades invite families to come and join in the fun at the Post.  Sometimes the post hosts a BBQ or other meal and includes patriotic music, games for both children and adults, and fun decorations.
• Partner with other community organizations to reach more people.  The post joined forces with other organizations in your area (Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, mental health agencies, food pantries, etc.) to increase the services provided to Veterans, active-duty military and their families.
• Educate youth about what it means to be a patriotic American.  Partner with schools or host special events for youth that  include age-appropriate lessons and activities. 
  
• Distribute U.S. Flags and/or present a certificate of recognition to a local business, private citizen and/or youth group for flying the U.S. Flag.  The post distributes flags to businesses, community organizations and schools that do not have a flag flying or provide a new flag to those whose flags are tattered.  Present a certificate in recognition to those displaying the U.S. Flag or POW/MIA flag to be recognized for their American pride.  We also collect unserviceable flags to be properly retired at the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Boulder City.
• Participate in local parades.  Who doesn’t love a parade? Passing out flags to children, riding on a float, or marching with the colors are some typical ways the post participates.
