Retirees and Veterans, after you seperated, did you stay involved in military circles or causes? How and what?

I have been retired for 4 years and still stay in contact with many I served with. I also help and spread the word about military causes/ charities as often as I can. When I am in a better position to do so, I hope to become more involved in helping directly. As a former NCO, I still feel that obligation to take care of soldiers and I don't think that will ever go away. Does anyone else feel this way? Discuss.

Every chance I got while working with homebound or Hospice patients that were veterans. After calling time of death the first call was to the medical examiners office for report. I wanted it make sure the cause of death was noted and clearly linked to SC Condition if that was the case. The second call was to the listed person to contact if they were not present at the time. They did not die alone on my shift.

I did not for years. I have recently started working for a local non-profit who has a veterans program. FolkTime.org. They asked me to come on board in Oct and I love it. Since then I have rejoined the VFW and I am becoming friends with the local DAV post commander.
