How can we honor and show respect for WW2 veterans?

We show respect by:

•  Donate to the USO.
•  Volunteer at a local USO Chapter.
•  Say “thank you.”  It’s such a small, simple gesture that is completely disproportionate to the sacrifice soldiers make for us, but they really do appreciate it.
• Place flowers/flags on the graves of veterans.
•  Proudly display your American flag.
