Saluting Our Heroes: Creative Ways to Celebrate Military Appreciation Month

At NTB, we take great pride in honoring and supporting our nation's military veterans. As we approach Military Appreciation Month in May, we want to recognize the sacrifices and contributions of those who have served in the armed forces. NTB is privileged to be the career home of numerous veterans from various branches of the military. We’re honored to have veterans among our workforce and deeply appreciate their service.

Military Appreciation Month is observed annually in May to honor the sacrifices and service of current and former members of the United States Armed Forces. Throughout the month, various
events and initiatives are organized nationwide to express gratitude to military personnel and their families for their dedication and commitment to defending our country. Here are some ways you can celebrate our armed service members and show your appreciation for them this month.

1. Connect with Veterans: Take a moment to reach out to veterans you know, whether they're family members, friends, or former colleagues. Send a text message, make a phone call, or write a heartfelt email expressing your gratitude for their service – a simple gesture like this can go a long way to making them feel appreciated.
2. Display Patriotic Symbols: Show your support for our military by displaying patriotic symbols, such as the American flag on your truck or wearing patriotic-themed clothing during your travels. These small acts serve as visible and clear reminders of your appreciation for veterans and their sacrifices.
3. Listen to Veteran Stories: If you have the opportunity to interact with veterans during this month, take the time to listen to their stories and experiences. Many veterans appreciate having someone to talk to and share their memories with. Your willingness to listen can make a meaningful difference in their day.
4. Support Veteran-Owned Businesses: Whenever possible, choose to support veteran-owned businesses by purchasing goods or services from them. By doing so, you're not only showing appreciation for their service but also contributing to their success and livelihood as they transition into civilian life.
5. Donate to Veteran Support Organizations: Consider making a donation to organizations that provide support and assistance to military veterans and their families. Many organizations offer convenient online donation options, making it easy to contribute from anywhere. Your donation can help provide essential services such as healthcare, housing assistance, mental health support, and educational opportunities for veterans in need. The Purple Heart Foundation, Wounded Warrior Project, Disabled American Veterans, and USO are all reputable organizations that support military veterans.
6. Share Military Appreciation Content: Use your social media platforms to raise awareness about Military Appreciation Month and express your gratitude to veterans. Share posts, articles, photos, or videos highlighting the contributions and sacrifices of military personnel. Encourage your followers to join you in honoring veterans by using relevant hashtags such as #MilitaryAppreciationMonth or #ThankAVeteran.
7. Participate in Local Events or Parades: Keep an eye out for local events, parades, or ceremonies organized to honor military veterans in your area. If your schedule allows, consider attending or participating in these events to show your support. You can join in the festivities, interact with veterans and their families, and express your appreciation firsthand. Additionally, participating in community events is a great way to connect with others who share your admiration for our nation's heroes.

Here at NTB, we’re taking this Military Appreciation Month to reaffirm our commitment to honoring and supporting veterans in our workforce and beyond. We extend our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who have served our country with honor and sacrifice. If you're a veteran seeking a rewarding civilian career, we invite you to join us at NTB, where your service is truly appreciated and your contributions are valued.
