Suggested letter content for your US or State Senator/Representative
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you in hopes of raising awareness for a program called Take A Vet to Lunch. The idea started on Veteran’s Day of 2008 as a means of honoring US Military Veterans on Veteran’s Day This year, we are hoping to spread this idea to a much wider audience.
Take A Vet to Lunch is a very simple idea and requires little planning. On Veteran’s Day, walk up to that Veteran with whom you work every single day and offer to take him/her to lunch. It will only cost you a few dollars, yet it allows you to show your appreciation for their sacrifice on a day intended to mark that sacrifice.
There is more information available at – http://WWW.TakeAVetToLunch.ORG.
Thank you,
