On July 4th, we commemorate the anniversary of our country’s independence with parades, picnics, and fireworks spectaculars. And rightfully so. We have a lot to to be thankful for. As we enjoy the holiday with family and friends, it’s easy to forget the many sacrifices it takes each and every day to hold on to the liberty our founding fathers secured so many years ago. So as you celebrate, take a few minutes to remember that it is because of the dedication of our military men and women that have our freedom at all.
Showing appreciation to those who protect us both at home and abroad is a lot more than just saying “thank you for your service,” and you don’t need to wait for a national holiday to do it. Below are a few ways you can let our active duty and veterans know that their sacrifices have not gone unnoticed. Even the smallest gesture can make a huge difference in a hero’s life.
Fireworks can be troublesome for veterans who are suffering from PTSD.
