"A Token of Appreciation for Those Who Served Our Great Country "
A Veteran is someone who, at one point in his or her life,
wrote a blank check made payable to The United States of America
for an amount of "up to and including my life".
According to the Disabled Vets Association,
(HELP4VETS.COM):
citing statistics from the U.S. Department
of Veterans Affairs:
Of the 24.5 million
living Veterans
in the United States
2.6 million are
service-connected disabled
and over 9 million
are age 65 or older.
Vets'Nite*Out is focused on coordinating Hosts and Sponsors who are proud to
provide a Nite*Out, or other consideration, as a "Token of Appreciation"
for the Veterans who served our great Country -
men and women who were willing to give life and limb to protect us -
and to preserve our freedom!
Let's Give a Little Something Back!

(Important Note: Cigarettes went up $7.00 per carton in March 2009, pushing even generic brands upwards of $30 per carton. Veterans on Medicaid
receive only $40 per month* for spending money.
If you are able and so inclined, please drop off a pack or carton of cigarettes for our Veterans at your local Veterans Home or Nursing Home.)
Or, if you like, you can "Chip-In" with us
to our CIGARETTE FUND at:
Every few bucks helps!
Thanks!
*Update: As of January 2010, spending money was increased to $50 ...
which is great, but still not enough to buy 2 cartons of cigarettes a month.
Thanks for visiting!
We hope you'll find everything you need to know about the Vets'Nite*Out program.
Look around our website and if you have any comments or questions,
or would like to volunteer,
or would like to find out how to become a Host or Sponsor of a Vets'Nite*Out,
you'll be in very good company!
We're sure you'll be happy working with us
and we'd love to have your help!
(From the Veterans to their Hosts ... from our Sponsors to Supporters to Volunteers ...
you'll see that everyone involved in any way with Vets'Nite*Out
is having a lot of fun!)
We hope to see you again soon!
