They Served Us - Now it's Our Turn to Serve Them.
Thank A Veteran is a 501(c)(3) Non-profit with a mission to recognize, honor, and appreciate the lives of America’s veterans by connecting them to their community through veteran camaraderie events, social activities, and fun active programs.
"We recognize all you have done and sacrificed.
We appreciate all of you.
… and we will never forget you.
This is why we created Thank A Veteran.
To remind those who have served how much we appreciate all of your efforts and sacrifices for this great country of ours.”
“The veterans of our military services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. They have dedicated their lives to their country and deserve to be recognized for their commitment.”
What We Do?
We Focus on the Elements of Health, People and Purpose.
The “health” emphasis manifests as regular opportunities for members to bond and challenge each other through fitness activities and sports, to improve physical well-being. Our focus on “people” relies on creating supportive relationships that build mutual trust and increase community engagement for the veteran. Thank A Veteran enhances a veteran’s sense of “purpose” by engaging them in team and community service-based experiences that they create and lead in their local areas.
Our Impact
How We Bring Smile to Veterans:
We share our stories in conversation with others over a simple cup of coffee, a scoop of ice cream, a bonfire; motivate and build each other’s confidence through a hard workout or challenging physical activity; and get our hands dirty together through the productive work of community service projects.
Why We Exist
Bringing Veterans and American Public Closer
Connecting veterans to their community with an emphasis on civilian inclusion provides the opportunity to strengthen civilian-military ties and foster a greater understanding between veterans and the American public. Our activities build trust among our members, where we earn the chance to learn each other’s stories and challenges. These new and strengthened relationships alleviate the risks that result from a lack of connection, such as depression and isolation. Isolation is not something that affects only veterans.
Anyone Can Feel Lonely And Out Of Place, Searching For The Group Where They Belong.
In today’s society, we are seemingly more divided than ever. Coming together in our communities through shared activities and authentic discussions with each other are uniting factors. Everyone has a place in Thank A Veteran. It’s where veterans can find their team again, and where civilians, family members and community partners work together to improve their communities and each other. Through our belonging in Thank A Veteran, we veterans don’t have to “miss it” anymore. We have found our new team, a new tribe to rely on and healthy activities to participate in to foster a successful transition to civilian life, with a positive focus on our new mission.
