MAY IS MILITARY APPRECIATION MONTH!

Over the month of May, a team of Veteran Networks, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), and Veteran Nonprofits working in media and entertainment companies invite you to join them in writing letters of appreciation to our military members and their families.

The sessions will feature a Military Guest Speaker (a Soldier, Sailor, Airmen, and Coastie, Cadet, and family members whose spouses are deployed) who are on the frontlines.

Why Join?

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn first-hand about the wide range of missions in the military. The goal is to inspire you to write letters (electronic or hand-written) to the soldiers, sailors, airmen, coasties, cadets, and family members of the US military units serving stateside and around the world.
