'Make Camo Your Cause' 2023: How you can help this Veterans Day, beyond
HOUSTON - FOX 26 is teaming up with U.S. Vets to encourage everyone to "Make Camo Your Cause," a campaign to end veteran homelessness.
Right here in Houston, U.S. Vets helps provide support and services to veterans every day.
"U.S. VETS is making real progress to house veterans experiencing homelessness and providing them the wraparound services, such as mental health support and career programs that help them find jobs, so they can look forward to a stable, fulfilling future," said President and CEO Steve Peck, who served as a Marine officer in Vietnam.
MILITARY: What is the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day?
Make Camo Your Cause to #HONORUSVETS is a national campaign to show appreciation and gratitude for veterans and their military service, while at the same time, raise awareness and funds to propel U.S. VETS' mission to ensure the successful transition of military veterans and their families.
Camouflage print is the official symbol of the campaign. Originally designed to conceal and protect soldiers in combat, with your support, #HONORUSVETS is giving camo a new meaning, showing the community you believe veterans deserve every opportunity to live with dignity and independence. Here at home, U.S. VETS encourages Americans to:
- SHOP camo at shop.usvets.org to benefit U.S. VETS.
- WEAR camo year-round with a specific focus on Veterans Day, November 11.
- SHARE camo through social media using #HONORUSVETS on Veterans Day, November 11, and post personal stories about those who have served.
