Why You Should Donate to a Veterans Charity

Veterans have formed a line of defense around our loved ones and us to ensure we can enjoy the safety, freedoms and liberty we have all come to expect as American citizens. Their major contributions are undisputable and their sacrifices unquestioned. Yet, they often come home and receive very little support. Part of this occurs because what they do happens away from the eyes and ears of the public and ‘out of sight, out of mind’ thinking always leads to a lack of understanding and empathy. Another part is that what they do reminds us of things we would like…
