Be present to send soldiers off or welcome
veterans home at the airport.

Specifically, Vietnam veterans appreciate
hearing the words “Welcome Home”.

Pray for them. Often there are struggles
that we can’t see, but we can ask God
to intervene on their behalf. Psalm 91 is
called “The Soldier’s Psalm.”

Volunteer to visit a home-bound veteran.
A one-time social call will be appreciated,
but ongoing visits could give an elderly
veteran something to look forward to.
Consider volunteering for a hospice or
other organization that can provide you
with adequate training.

Deliver baked goods and thank you notes
to your local fire department, ambulance
station or to a police officer you know.

Interview a veteran, write his/her story,
and submit it to Lubbock Senior Link
Magazine during the summer for the
annual fall veteran’s issue.
