Vets need all we can give

Mon., July 22, 2013

Our veterans need our help. They need craft supplies, music, DVDs, CDs, keyboards, radios and anything we can help with. You may make blankets, hats, socks, either bought, crocheted or knitted.

Our veterans fought for us, now it’s our turn to help them. If it was not for our veterans, there would be no more America.

Please help them. Some of our veterans are homeless. Some need household furniture. Anything you can give; money or, if you can’t give anything, maybe you could just talk to a veteran. Just listen to what they’re saying. Just give your time. Our veterans are America’s true heroes.
