We are a collective of military and veteran nonprofit organizations, and together, we are issuing a call to action to America:

Show all those who are fighting the COVID-19 pandemic as well as our military and deployed troops the infinite support of a grateful nation!

As nonprofit leaders, we invite all veterans, service members, and families we serve to join us and pay it forward by writing letters of gratitude!

Celebrate Christmas in July and
write letters of gratitude to deployed troops!

And they deserve our thanks for that sacrifice.”
