Helpful Tips For Writing Letters to Vets:
-
Try to be as friendly as possible; many have mental wounds and scars. They can use a nice letter that will brighten their day.
-
When addressing your letter, please start with Sir or Ma’am
-
Make sure you don’t use any words that can be misunderstood/tiger some negative message. Example: “You are the bomb!”
-
When you finish your letter, you don’t need to write your full name unless you want to.
-
Do not place your letter in a sealed envelope. (protocol from military precautions)
-
If you are writing to a Veteran in the VA Hospital, please place your letter in the assigned container. (Containers will be marked with the location information)
-
A small team of volunteers will deliver the letters directly to homeless centers, Veterans at Home of the Brave/DCHV directly to the address above. COVID19 restrictions apply. Confidentiality is in order, and POC at these locations will ensure your letter will get to the hands of the resident.
-
Thank you for your service is always appreciated by the veteran
