    Circulate this among your Veteran's Organization; Volunteer Medal

    The US military Outsanding Volunteer Medal     is authorized to all active,
    Guard and Reserve personnel who perform community service acts. All veteran
    organizations are strongly recommended to seek volunteer services from
    local military personnel to qualify them for being authorized the OVSM.
    Various volunteer duties a military person might render either a community
    or a veteran's organization are:

    * Performing driver service to hospitals or other appointments for the disabled
    * Providing mentor or meeting assistance for Boys or Girl Scout units
    * Giving working hands to the construction, repair or cleanup of community
    based facilities
    * Partnering with local LE personnel for "Ride-Along" patrols
    * Assisting D.A.R.E. and other anti-drug use agencies with youth substance
    resistance
    * Teaming with community Youth Guidance Counselors who assist at-risk teenagers
    * Consulting with libraries and museums in the collection or maintenance of
    military display items

    The possibilities are endless.

    If your veteran's organization is near a military installation your
    Director should contact the local military commander with a request for
    volunteer assisance. If no military installation is nearby a "Please
    Publish" request should be mailed to your local newspaper asking for
    military personnel to contact your organization regarding Volunteer
    services needed.

DOD Welcome home-small.jpg A welcoming home for our Troops.

Welcoming home our men and women doesn't end after the crowd disperses, it MUST continue on for the life of the Veteran! They've served us, now we will serve them with programs that work so they reintegrate into society.
