It is amazing how quickly the year has passed; it’s already November. On the eleventh, we will celebrate our nation’s armed forces on Veteran’s Day. This is the day to pay tribute and honor those who have sacrificed their time with their families and their lives to protect our great country. While it should be a daily practice to thank a veteran, it is especially important on this national holiday. Simply saying “thank you” is a small gesture that surely is appreciated. Post a message on a social networking site to thank our veterans. You never know who may come across that post and just needed to hear those words.
Another way to show your appreciation for a veteran on the 11th is to proudly display your American pride. Wear your red, white, and blue. Say the Pledge of Allegiance. Fly your flag at your home or wear a pin on your shirt to show that you acknowledge this very important day on our calendar.

Daily assistance can be costly depending on what is needed and our veterans deserve the best care they can get. If your loved one has actively served in the military for at least sixty days or at least one day during a period of war, they may qualify for the VA’s Benefit and Attendance Benefit.
It is important to help your veteran loved one to research the financial assistance that is available to them so that they can continue to live safely and comfortably in their own home. In home help makes it possible to keep up with familiar routines, friendships and other activities. The ability to keep a consistent lifestyle is very beneficial to a loved one’s overall sense of wellbeing. When an elderly loved one begins to show a need for daily assistance, it is best to call on a compassionate and knowledgeable caregiver to help them in their home. Your loved one can receive assistance with daily household chores such as light housekeeping, laundry, vacuuming, meal preparation and pet care when needed. If your loved one requires additional assistance, a highly trained caregiver can provide in home help with personal hygiene, medication reminders and walking assistance. Having this kind of assistance at home will help your loved one feel independent and valued.
