      There are many ways we can honor and show respect for WW2 veterans. First of all we can start by saying a simple “thank you” because even a little word can mean so much to a person. You could also help donate at the USO and volunteer at a local USO Chapter. If you know a family member that passed away during WW2 then stop by at their grave and give them a flower/ flag. You can also display a yellow ribbon on your clothes, car, or around a tree. However there are many more things you can do to honor and show respect for our veterans because they have done so much for us. There are some people that don't appreciate this as much as they're supposed to but we have to encourage them that they work so hard to get us at where we are now and we have to appreciate every single moment of it.
