Valentines and visitors say Thank You Veterans
Saluting VA’s patients
Show your appreciation during National Salute to Veteran Patients Week.
Every February, VA throws a party for the thousands of Veterans who receive care every day in VA medical centers, outpatient clinics, domiciliaries and nursing homes.
It’s National Salute to Veteran Patients Week. This is your opportunity to say thank you to this special group of men and women.
“The National Salute to Veteran Patients is a wonderful opportunity for patriotic Americans to show their appreciation for Veterans. I encourage everyone to visit a Veteran at a local VA medical facility this Valentine’s week,” said Sabrina C. Clark, director of the Center for Development & Civic Engagement. “I challenge everyone to make this National Salute the start of a commitment to honor Veterans by volunteering at a VA Medical Center and offering their own personal touch to serving those who served us first.”
