About The Thank You Foundation
Our Purpose and Mission
The mission of The Thank You Foundation is to show appreciation and express gratitude for members of the U.S. Military both past and present. We believe that saying thank you is not enough and that the words must be followed up with action and commitment.
Through programs and services offered by the Foundation and through strategic partnerships with the community at large, businesses, civic organizations, and other military related service groups, the Foundation strives to improve the overall quality of life of Veterans, Military Personnel, and their families by focusing and supporting efforts for Education & Employment, Health & Welfare, and Morale & Recreation for the community we serve.
The Foundation was started with the belief that the words "Thank You", could transcend political, religious, and ideological differences, to let those who have served or that are serving know that they are appreciated.

How to help Veterans and our Troops

Dear Fellow Woman Veteran,
Did you know that the Greater Cincinnati area has an American Legion Post founded by women veterans for women veterans? We are writing to ask you to consider joining your sister veterans in this unique organization.
Those of us who have served in time of war have a bond that cannot be broken. Our lives and our backgrounds can be as different as night and day, but we are joined by battle, by service and by experiences that are uniquely ours. As women veterans, we also share experiences and bonds that draw us together in our sense of identity as veterans and in our desire to continue to serve our country and community.
In 1919, the United States Congress approved the charter of The American Legion as an organization of veterans. Some of our members served overseas during war-time while others served stateside. Yet we all served during periods defined by Congress as war-time service.
Membership entitles you and your family to:
· Professional help in obtaining full medical, educational, and insurance benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs
· Assistance in preparing VA claims and getting accurate information concerning financial services.
· Professional representation of veterans’ interests in Congress by our staff in Washington, D.C., who are fighting for legislation that protects the benefits of all veterans and their families.
Plus, membership in the Legion gives you added savings, discounts and family-protection benefits including:
· Job placement assistance
· A full year’s subscription to our monthly magazine, The American Legion Magazine
· Discount rates at thousands of hotels and motels, on car rental, and with moving expenses
· Full eligibility to participate in Legion Members-only insurance plans
· Additional discounts through The American Legion’s new prescription drug plan
The American Legion is the nation’s most influential, effective and dependable advocate of veterans affairs. Your membership in the Legion will strengthen our fight for better active-duty pay, improved housing for active-duty families, and help ensure that the VA’s medical system can properly care for the sick and wounded returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
More important than material benefits, your membership in The American Legion is a tangible way to honor the other men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country. It’s the best way to help preserve programs that benefit you, our nation and our fellow veterans.
