EVERY DAY IS VETERAN'S DAY!


Create personally-designed, patriotic greeting cards as well get well wishes to hospitalized Veterans at the Louis A. Johnson VAMC. These greetings are distributed to Veterans throughout the Medical Center and our Community-Based Outpatient Clinics. 

Patients enjoy colorful artwork and positive messages. This is a way to express your gratitude to our nation's heroes any day of the year! 

Please do not copy and paste artwork or messages from CAVA, ETSY, or similar sites—original, handmade designs and messages are highly encouraged!
