Small gestures honor sacrifice this Memorial Day
Tom Purcell urges simple acts to honor fallen and serving service members beyond parades. He advocates writing to overseas troops, volunteering with VFW or American Legion, donating to legitimate charities, supporting troops’ families, visiting veterans in nursing homes or hospitals, and reviving neglected war memorials with basic cleanup.
