A strong nation doesn’t diminish the efforts of its veterans. Those who have sacrificed their lives in protecting our motherland, giving us freedom, and keeping us safe in our homes, should be recognized.

This Veterans Day, follow the footsteps of the Veterans by protecting the motherland, not with weapons, but with eco-friendly choices. We’re here to give you some of the very effective green ways to celebrate and honor Veterans Day.

Veterans Day and Memorial Day are Different

Before proceeding further, you shouldn’t confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day. There’s a huge difference, and people often get confused with the idea of the two days.

A Veterans Day is to honor the efforts of those who have served their lives in protecting the nation and are still with us. Veterans can either be serving or retired. However, Memorial Day is a day when we pay tribute to and honor the ones who have lost their lives while serving the nation.

So, with that being said, let’s get started with some eco-friendly ideas to celebrate Veterans Day.

Show Support

Attending local events on Veterans Day is far better than celebrating indoor parties with your friends. Show some love and support by joining the local parades but make sure to keep the environment safe and maintain a proper distance due to the pandemic.

Some states might not allow people to gather around due to the Covid, but still, you can do a lot to show your love and support to Veterans.

Invite them at Parties

You can invite the Veterans you know, like your relatives or neighbors, to a party and ask them about their service. Having an informal conversation with them about their service will make them feel honored.

You can throw an epic party and invite Veterans to have dinner at your place. For a perfect table setting, you should use patriotic eco-friendly tableware to make your party green.

To throw a sustainable party, we offer eco-friendly serving supplies that include patriotic biodegradable servingware, compostable palm leaf trays, natural disposable trays, and many other dinnerware items.

You can add amazing recipes to make your serving more interesting and your party more enjoyable.

Spend Time with Veterans

Spending some outdoor time with Veterans and their families can be a great idea. Having some quality time in a national park can improve their emotional and mental health as well.

Donate

Last but not least, you can also donate to non-profit organizations working hard for the betterment of the Veterans. Hundreds of such organizations are operating to support the Veterans financially.

Visit VA Hospitals

Some hospitals are solely meant for the care and treatment of Veterans. You can visit the hospital and bring some gifts for them to make their Veterans day a bit special.

Nothing is better than asking for someone’s health in a person. So, take out some time, pack some gifts, and visit your nearest VA hospital with your family to give Veterans the honor they truly deserve for keeping the nation up high.
