As many of you know, during AFA Leaders Conference last November, we asked everyone to write a thank you note to a veteran in honor of Veteran’s Day and one of our delegates serving in the Army National Guard. The notes were distributed the week after Leaders Conference throughout the state of Minnesota, and we have received several thank you letters from the veteran’s homes and hospitals that received these notes. Included below are the thank you’s we received here at the office for your efforts!

“On behalf of the Minneapolis VAMC patients and staff, we would like to extend our appreciation to you for your donation of thank you notes.The thank you notes have been made distributed to the patients by our dedicated volunteers. Your thoughtfulness reflects the concern that you feel for our veterans and for the service they provided to all of us while in service to our country.Without your support, we could not provide for the smaller niceties that make hospitalization more bearable. Your thoughtfulness also reflects the concern and compassion that our community feels for our veterans.Thank you for your continued support.”
The Minneapolis VAMC 

“I wanted to write and say thank you for the wonderful notes you sent this veterans home last month. The thoughtfulness and compassion written in these notes is an uplifting boost to our veterans. Thanks, again, and keep up the good work.”
Minnesota Veterans Home of Luverne 

“Thank You VERY MUCH!”
