What to write
Each of these fits on the back of the card. Borrow one, or paste it into the writing assistant and make it yours.
- Happy Veterans Day, Dad. I know you don't talk about it much, but I think about what you gave up for us. Thank you. I'm proud to be your kid.
- Thank you for your service, and for the years since. The way you look out for everyone on our street is the same thing, just in a different uniform.

Why a real card
- A lot of veterans get a generic 'thank you for your service' once a year and not much else. A card with a real photo and a specific note from someone they know is different.
- If you have a veteran in the family, this is one of the few days with a built-in reason to say something you might otherwise never say.
- It takes five minutes. Pick a photo of the two of you, write three sentences, and it's in the mail.
Takes about two minutes

Questions
What do I write in a Veterans Day card?
Keep it personal and specific. Thank them, say one thing you admire about them or remember, and say something about now. See the examples above, or let the writing assistant draft one from a sentence about who they are to you.
When should I send it?
Delivery takes 3–8 business days. Order by November 3 to be safe for a November 11 arrival.
Can I send one to a veteran I don't know personally?
Yes, if you have their mailing address. Many people send one to a family friend, a former teacher, or a coworker's parent.
