Description
Veterans are prioritized for matches with other Vets for support and discussion. Spend the afternoon (or morning!) talking about military experiences. Vets might not feel comfortable sharing stories with civilian friends and family, so being matched with another Veteran gives the opportunity to revel in the good ol' days. There are also, of course, rough times and difficult memories a Vet needs to share with a knowing soul that's maybe been there. Veterans have given so much already, but consider doing this one thing more to pay it forward for a Veteran hospice patient.
