While they would never ask for help themselves, our veterans need our assistance now more than ever.
Spring 2012
Dear Veteran Supporter:
While they would never ask for help themselves, our veterans need our assistance now more than ever. This is not out of pride or arrogance, but a result of their intensive training and self-determination. With unemployment at an all time high, veteran job seekers are having a tough time moving from military service to civilian life. To honor their commitment to our country, we seek your help to make a difference during the holidays. Our annual Operation Holiday is one of the ways that we honor their service.
Last year we provided veterans and their families with toys, clothing, and a complete holiday dinner. Given the current economic environment, our goal is to help as many veterans as possible. In order to accomplish this task, we really need your help.
