USAA Calls for Meaningful Connection on Veterans Day
On Veterans Day, USAA encourages Americans to go beyond a simple “thank you” and connect with veterans in their communities. This effort aims to bridge the divide between those who have served and those who haven’t.
Connect with Veterans
- Ask veterans about their service and how they’re doing.
- Reciprocate by sharing your own experiences and contributions.
- Visit a local American Legion or VFW post, a VA hospital, or a community center hosting veterans events.
- Reach out by text, phone call, or in person.
Benefits of Connection
- Fosters understanding and appreciation between veterans and non-veterans.
- Helps heal the “unseen wounds” veterans carry.
- Builds relationships and strengthens the community.
How to Participate
- Join the “national moment of gratitude” on November 11 at 11 a.m. local time.
- Use the hashtag #GoBeyondThanks on social media to share your experiences.
- Support organizations like Face the Fight, which raises awareness for veteran suicide prevention.
