What about the other veterans? I want to help as many as I can, that is why I give to a particular organization. Then get your friends to “ADOPT A VET”. What if all your friends started adopting vets? What if a bunch of you got together and adopted a couple of them? Don’t you think that would have more of an impact?
No, you can not help them all, but what if others followed your example? There are a whole lot more people like you that would like to help than there are disabled vets. If everybody got in on the act how long would it take to adopt all the vets?
You think we owe them something? You’re darn right we do. We owe them our respect, admiration and thanks for being there when needed. They could have very easily have gone the other way, enough did. And while we are at it let us not forget the families of those who never came home. They need help too.
How about the Police Officer or Fireman’s widow and kids. Fortunately there are not as many of them as there are vets. But there are enough. Could they use some help? I am sure they could. Do we owe them? You bet, and do not forget the one’s disabled in the line of duty. Go “ADOPT A COP”, “ADOPT A FIREMAN”. And do not forget any other group of individuals that die or become disabled in the line of duty. Do not tell me you can not find someone near you that needs help.
If you do not like any of these ideas go find a family in your area that needs help and help them. Stop giving to organizations and start giving directly to people. Get a bunch of your friends together and make it a group project. You will actually see the results. You can even remain anonymous if you want, but you can still chart the progress of your project. You can make it a long-term project or help several people and have multiple projects.
