Call to Honor: A Veteran Gratitude Line
Veterans Day is observed annually on November 11th and while most Americans want to honor veterans, many don’t know how. This Veterans Day, you can turn appreciation into action through Call to Honor: A Veteran Gratitude Line from Cohen Veterans Network.
There are two ways to take part in Call to Honor: Americans can go beyond “thank you for your service” by calling our dedicated phone line and leaving a personal message of gratitude for veterans, while veterans can call in to hear the messages of appreciation shared with them.
Leave a message and share what veterans’ service and sacrifices mean to you. Call 248-VETERAN (248-838-3726) and press 1. Your message does not have to be long or perfectly scripted. It simply needs to come from you. You might share:
- What veterans’ service means to you
- A reflection on the sacrifices made by veterans and their families
- A message of encouragement for those who have served
- A specific quality you admire, such as courage, commitment or service to others
