This weekend I saw a lot businesses posting "Happy Memorial Day!" content. "Come out to Rudy's Bar and celebrate the long holiday weekend with us, we're selling $5 orange crushes all day long!" Memorial Day is to remember the hundreds of thousands of military members who gave the ultimate sacrifice and never came home to their families. Asking people to come to your restaurant to "celebrate the holiday" feels really wrong for Memorial Day. Are we forgetting what it's really about? Here are a few ways you can post on social or email your customers about Memorial Day that honors the military members and their families: 1. Share a link to an organization that helps families of fallen soldiers asking for donations, like the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation 2. Donate 10% of your proceeds on Memorial Day to a reputable organization like the Wounded Warrior Project 3. Highlight a veteran who works at your company and thank them for their service 4. Offer a 20% discount to all active military members to thank them for their service 5. Be like Born Primitive (pictured below) and don't ask anything of your customers, simply post about Memorial Day in a way that honors the fallen. They also shared a really great video on their Instagram and Facebook pages to remind everyone of the true meaning of Memorial Day. Please take a moment to watch it, I'll link it in the comments. #MemorialDay #Military #HonorTheFallen

Something to think about

“I’ve learned more here in the last hour than I have in the last 30 years!” -Cecilia, an Army Veteran Our team and Veterans at our roundtable discussion today! #Veterans #militaryfamilies #VeteransResource #workshops #roundtablediscussion #sanfrancisco #bayarea #veteransnonprofit #nonprofit #resources #community #communityevents

Armed Forces personnel are known for their strength, their courage, their ability to face tough times and just keep pushing through. So recognising that you need help and support can be a hard realisation to face - and reaching out and actually asking for that help can feel difficult. In fact, it takes a brave person to ask for help. It takes strength and courage to recognise that you need support and to actually ask for it - it's a step that can often feel impossible. And that is why it is important to know what support options are out there. So for Veterans attending the Ski-habilitation Week, not only is it a place of support and guidance, but it can be the first stepping stone on the way back to a fuller and more positive future. https://lnkd.in/guWgFtXT To donate- Text VETERANS to 70470 to donate ￡10 Or VETERANS20 to donate ￡20 Texts cost the chosen donation amount plus one standard network rate message

Unemployment is not comfortable for anyone - it can bring financial uncertainty, pressure on relationships, stress related health issues and risk of housing issues. Military personnel commit a large portion of their time, energy and years of commitment to military service. Often undertaking roles that are like no other, are involved in situations that many can't even start to comprehend and suffer with injuries and illness that other areas of life would not bring. This is why it is important that Veterans who have given so much already have the support and guidance needed to get them into secure employment. With help and assistance to get them on track to a brighter future. https://lnkd.in/ebUxyk-k To donate- Text VETERANS to 70470 to donate ￡10 Or VETERANS20 to donate ￡20 Texts cost the chosen donation amount plus one standard network rate message

Jujitsu can offer significant mental health benefits for veterans and first responders, individuals often exposed to high-stress situations and traumatic events. This martial art focuses on self-defense and physical control, but its benefits extend far beyond the physical realm. Practicing Jujitsu requires mindfulness, concentration, and the ability to be present in the moment, which can help mitigate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The discipline and structure found in Jujitsu training provide a sense of routine and purpose, fostering a positive mental state. Additionally, the supportive community aspect of Jujitsu dojos offers a sense of belonging and camaraderie, helping veterans and first responders combat feelings of isolation. By engaging both body and mind, Jujitsu can act as a powerful tool for improving overall mental health and resilience, aiding in the transition to civilian life or coping with the pressures of first responder roles.

Many of us leave the Armed Forces feeling like we are unscathed and have everything under control - only for things to unravel over time. Life in the military is clear cut, it's organised, there is a rank structure and protocols to follow - and often it is this routine and sense of order that keeps someone on track. When leaving the military through choice it can be hard to adapt to the change of routine and structure - so when having to leave not through your own choice it can be even harder to adjust. Sometimes Veterans just need a little guidance to help get things in place to make life a little easier, but often there are various support strategies needed to help a Veteran back on track - this is why SWV has more than one support pathway on offer.
