Memorial Day is right around the corner. Will you show our nation’s hospitalized veterans you respect their sacrifice for our American freedoms? VFW is asking you to sign a Thank You card.
When you do, we’ll print a real card with your name on it to be placed in the hands of a hospitalized veteran who needs to know that their sacrifice has not been forgotten.
Signing the card shows you honor the fallen … stand strong for the wounded … and carry those still fighting in your heart and in your prayers.
Please respond by May 18 so VFW can deliver signed cards to as many hospitalized veterans as possible. With your help, we’ll show unwavering respect and support FOR VETERANS.

Support Our Troops Care Packages from Soldiers Angels
As Independence Day approaches, remember those currently fighting for freedom who won’t be home to celebrate. Thank our U.S. soldiers today by sending a care package full of goodies. If you think you’re simply too busy to put one together, or think it’s impossible to find the address of someone currently deployed, think again. Soldiers Angels makes it easy.
Anyone wishing to send moral support gifts to someone currently deployed, who doesn’t have a lot of time on their hands, can simply order a care package through Soldiers Angels. They offer a wide variety of ready-to-ship bundles, or you can customize one of your own.
I found this “Deployment Pack” (for only $20) that includes powdered drink mix, snacks, teeth-whitening gum, baby wipes, lip balm, a 60 minute phone card, and a thank you coin all wrapped nicely in a Soldiers Angels towel.
Best of all, you can send a kit out to “any hero” or a “specific soldier” at checkout, and can choose whether to ship the package anonymously or with your own special message. Support Our Troops!

How to Display Your American Flag Properly
I hope that all of my fellow Patriots who have chosen to take part in Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July, or Veterans Day activities are aware of the Federal Flag Code. For those that have chosen to display the American Flag proudly, here are some tips on how to do so properly:
Rolling Thunder Memorial Day Weekend POW/MIA Observance
The Rolling Thunder Memorial weekend “Ride” began in 1987 with 2500 patriotic motorcycle enthusiasts. It was organized by a group of Vietnam Veterans who wanted to bring attention to the POW/MIA’s that were left behind after the Vietnam War ended. Today, more than 250,000 motorcyclists participate in this annual ride through the streets of Washington D.C. Assuring that the U.S. Government “Never Forgets” that all soldiers left behind deserve to make it home.
