Summer Days to Remember Vets
The long, warm days of summer always seem to herald memories of simpler times and joys. From state fairs to ice cream truck treats and more, we are blessed with a plethora of opportunities every summer. This year, while taking advantage of the fun that these months can bring to you, you can also honor or thank a vet for contributing to your ability to do just that.
Throughout June, July and August there are many unique days set aside for commemoration of a variety of things. We have put together a list of just a few with ideas for how you can incorporate them into honor our nation’s veterans.
-
June 6—National Drive-in Movie Day
The drive-in movie is a quintessential American pastime. This year, take a vet to a drive-in with you and your friends or family.
-
June 14— National Flag Day
Being proud of your country is great but you should always remember that it is our veterans who have allowed our nation to persevere and flourish. Any recognition on this day belongs to them as well as to the flag.
-
June 28— National World War II Commemoration Day
On this day, find out what your local community is doing to honor World War II veterans and their families and get involved.
-
July 6—National Fried Chicken Day
Fried chicken is about as American as you can get. This summer, cook up a big batch and host a veteran’s appreciation fry in your backyard.
-
July 30—National Father-in-Law Day
Anyone who has a father-in-law that has served in the United States military can capitalize on this day. Honoring this special man in your life can not only be meaningful to him but to your spouse as well.
-
August 10—National Lazy Day
Thank a vet that you have the ability to be lazy due to his or her efforts. Then, go one step further and do something for a vet that allows him or her to be a bit lazy that day.
National Golf Month is recognized all throughout August. Find a couple of local vets to make your golf foursome and get out on the course.
When you take the time to do something for someone else, you will find that your summer enjoyment increases dramatically. You can even add a small commemorative gifts for a veteran on any of these occasions and really show your gratitude.
