2. You can have a moment of silence for two minutes at 11:11 AM.
3. Lots of communities usually have places where you can volunteer to help veterans. This could be at a veteran hospital or maybe a local soup kitchen for veterans.
4. If you don’t have the opportunity to volunteer, it’s always an option to donate to charities that help veterans that were wounded or affected in action.
5. You could also treat a veteran to a meal on Veterans’ Day. Restaurants usually offer a discount or a free meal if they have their military ID with them.
