Today's post is about Kelly Landry, who is an AmeriCorps VISTA member assigned to the Community Blueprint Network at American Red Cross South Florida Region (FL) through the American Legion Auxiliary Call to Service Corps. In her assignment as a service to the armed forces associate, Kelly coordinates resources and services that better respond to the strengths and needs of the military community in South Florida.

Honor Our Veterans

Today's post is written by Mike Monroe, vice president of military initiatives at Points of Light.

I am a U.S. Marine Corps veteran.  I continue to serve out of uniform at Points of Light, working to create initiatives that will help veterans. 

With Veterans Day fast approaching, so many people are thinking about causes and ways to help. I wanted to offer a few things to think about. 

  • When you think about veterans, please also think about military members, their families (including their children) and families of the fallen. All of these people have made sacrifices. They all deserve our appreciation. 
  • Don’t make Veterans Day a day of just pausing and reflecting. Make it a day where you annually reaffirm a personal commitment to do something to help.
