The holidays can be intense, and people cope with stressful situations and/or loneliness in different ways.

Don’t wait. Take a moment over the next few days to reach out to friends and loved ones.

"Please pause to reflect on your blessing, spend quality time with loved ones, and remember our service members deployed and in harm's way."

Last week, AMVETS National Commander Don McLean visited several members of Congress to discuss the Charitable Equity for Veterans Act of 2021 and other veterans issues before the end of the year. https://t.co/XMMiv2O54w

‘The members of AMVETS Cpl. Humberto Sanchez Post #82621 have given so much already. They’ve sacrificed their time and family. Saturday morning, they gave even more, bringing holiday cheer to veterans in local nursing homes.’ @pharostribune https://t.co/pcBgJljFix

[Veterans Affairs @DeptVetAffairs]

Today, the U.S. National Guard celebrates its 386th birthday! Just like their motto, “Always Ready, Always There,” members of the Army and Air Force National Guard are always prepared to assist at home and abroad. Happy birthday, Minutemen! Thank you for your service!

[AMVETS @AMVETSHQ]

As the number of returning WWII vets swelled into the millions in 1944, it was evident that nationally organized assistance would be needed.

With that in mind, eighteen leaders met in Kansas City, MO, and founded The American Veterans (AMVETS) of World War II on Dec. 10, 1944.

Why do we ride? The picture below was taken this week while members of Congress are moving offices. That’s the American flag. There’s also the POW/MIA flag. Collectively, they sit in a trash bin.

If someone asks you why we ride in D.C. each Memorial Day Weekend, show them this.
