TNOYF Op Re-Gift

Veterans Day is the perfect time to announce a great way to help those who’ve bravely fought for our country.

Operation Re-Gift is the idea of Michael D’Emilio, an old friend who decided he’s uncomfortable receiving gifts each holiday season that he really doesn’t want, particularly when there are people in our country who actually need.

Mike told his friends and family that, in lieu of the DVDs he never watches and the sweaters he never wears, he’d prefer they donate money to a veterans’ association.
The idea has taken root in Mike’s family, and has started to spread.

If you’re interested, the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) provides a list of Troop Charities here. People who want to participate in Operation Re-Gift can encourage donations to these groups, or to IAVA itself.

I linked the IAVA home page rather than send you directly to the Troop Charities section because there's too much good stuff there to skip over.
