Salute Our Overseas Veterans: Show deep gratitude for National VFW Day! Marking the September 29, 1899 founding of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, today honors the courage, sacrifice, and ongoing support provided by the nation’s oldest major war veterans’ organization.

Take a moment to thank a veteran for their service! Want to be more sincere? Say your words from you heart, “Thank you for serving all of us” as a suggestion, instead of “Thank YOU for your service” which is still good. Picture your relative standing in front of you and how you’d like them appreciated.
