Veterans Day is fast approaching, and the American Red Cross reminds everyone to show your appreciation for what veterans have done for this country and for you. This link offers some suggestions of ways to thank a veteran. The first suggestion on the list is to sign a card that will go to an active duty service member or veteran as part of the Red Cross Holiday Mail for Heroes campaign.
Visitors to the Red Cross tent at Wilson's Whirligig Festival this weekend (Nov. 5-6) will have the opportunity to sign a holiday card that will be distributed to a service member, wounded service member, veterans hospital patient or veteran. Other card-signing events are planned throughout the region until Dec. 9. Individuals can send cards directly to the Holiday Mail for Heroes campaign by sending a signed cards (no gifts, money or other inserts are allowed) to Holiday Mail for Heroes, P.O. Box 5456, Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456. Cards will be screened for biohazards in accordance with Pentagon regulations and distributed to recipients at home and abroad.
