[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2015687, member: 1132"] 1. Support the charitable organizations that actually benefit the vets. Here's a good place to research which organizations actually work for the vets, rather than just take money and spend it all on advertising to raise more money. [url]http://www.military-money-matters.com/charities-ratings.html#axzz2EoPBXycR[/url] 2. Contact your elected representatives, all of them. Use facts to get the message across that we do not do enough to support those who risked their lives for their country. Urge them to support and actually [U]create[/U] legislation that provides more resources and funding to treat suffering vets. One thing they need more than anything in this tough economy is mil. to civilian transition training and job search assistance. There's nothing worse than coming home to unemployment. 3. Volunteer your time to support the vets through an organization that actually puts you in direct contact with them. I've done this through two different organizations and it's extremely rewarding. Sometimes just having a stranger put forth the effort to show they care is enough to keep them in the fight for their own sake. Any other suggestions are appreciated. [/QUOTE]
