May is Military Appreciation Month

For the last 25 years, May has been designated as Military Appreciation Month. Throughout May, various events, ceremonies, and initiatives are organized to show gratitude to military personnel for their service to the country. This month serves as an opportunity for civilians to express their appreciation for the dedication, bravery, and patriotism of those who serve in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. 

Here are several things you can do this May to celebrate our brave men and women in the Armed Forces:

Fly the US Flag – Show your patriotism and respect for military personnel by proudly flying the US flag outside your home or place of business.

Donate time and resources - Offer your time, skills, or financial support to organizations dedicated to assisting military members, veterans, and their families. 

Shop at a Veteran-owned small business - By patronizing veteran-owned businesses, you directly support the entrepreneurial endeavors of those who have served their country.

Support a charity that benefits veterans - Contribute to organizations that provide vital services such as healthcare, housing assistance, and mental health support to veterans in need.

Thank a soldier in uniform - Express your gratitude directly to service members by offering a heartfelt "thank you" and a handshake when you encounter them in uniform, acknowledging their commitment and sacrifice.

Let’s acknowledge the sacrifices made by military members and their families in defending the nation's freedoms and protecting its citizens this May. Be sure to fly your US Flag on Armed Forces Day (May 18, 2024) and in honor of the fallen men and women who died serving our country on Memorial Day (May 27, 2024.)
