Hug a Vet
 Tell a Vet thank you
 Tell a Vet you are proud they served
 Contribute to the World War II Veterans Memorial
 Every day should be a Memorial Day for Veterans
 It is the soldier who:
 Gave us the right to a fair trial
 The right to demonstrate
 Freedom of the press
 Freedom of speech
It is the soldier
Who salutes the flag
Serves under the flag
Whose coffin is draped by the flag
Who gives the protesters the right to burn the flag
