Just in case some of you would like to get involved:
From Feb. 12 through 18, the annual National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans will be observed at VA medical centers throughout the country.
The week of February 14 each year is our opportunity to say thank you to a special group of men and women, the more than 98,000 veterans of the U.S. armed services who are cared for every day in Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers, outpatient clinics, domiciliaries, and nursing homes.
During the National Salute, VA invites individuals, veterans groups, military personnel, civic organizations, businesses, schools, local media, celebrities and sports stars to participate in a variety of activities at the VA medical centers. The activities and events include special ward visits and valentine distributions; photo opportunities; school essay contests; special recreation activities and veteran recognition programs.
For more information, contact your nearest VA Medical Center and ask for Voluntary Service to discover the wonderful things you, your group or organization can do to salute America's Heroes. To find your nearest VA Medical Center, visit the VA Facilities Locator and Directory (http://www1.va.gov/directory/guide/home.asp?isFlash=1).
