Want to show gratitude to a military veteran in their final days? Jacksonville’s Community Hospice and Palliative Care has launched what it’s calling the Mail Call program, inviting all of us to write heartfelt letters to veterans in local hospice facilities. The idea is that the letters could be like the ones they may have received from home while on active duty: messages of gratitude, encouragement and personal reflections. The goal is to remind veterans of the impact of their service one last time and let them know the community still supports them. Learn how to send a letter.
