Joke of the Day

After my niece returned from her second tour in Iraq, I remarked how beautiful her complexion looked. “What do you use on your face to keep it so smooth?” I asked.

“Nothing,” she said. “I’ve been sandblasted.”

Vet Tix

From the CEO of Operation Strong Mind, COL (Ret) Tom Stokes

I view Vet Tix’s Mission as aligned with the Mission of Operation Strong Mind. At OSM, members of our organization are dedicated to do everything we can to increase social connection for members of our military community. Meaningful, sustained, social connection is one of the things we lose when we get out of the military.

“A Healthy Mind is a Socially Connected Mind.”

According to their website, part of the Vet Tix mission is to:

“Give Something to Those Who Gave.”

“Vet Tix provides tickets to events which reduce stress, strengthen family bonds, build life-long memories and encourage service members and veterans to stay engaged with local communities and American life. We support our troops by honoring their service and providing positive family and life experiences, during and after their years of service to our country.”

Please consider using this resource as one way to increase connection with others.
