Donating to veterans is a vital part of ensuring that these men and women receive adequate care and support in the years following their service. Veterans often need help in lots of different ways, including costs from medical expenses, service animal costs, and housing. Sadly, many veterans are homeless and in need of financial help once they retire from the military. Veterans are important because they are a symbol in America; a symbol of strength and honor which gives something to other generations to aspire to be. Veterans fight for our freedom and this is my way of saying thank you for the countless hours of dedication.
