As we approach Veterans Day - do you know the difference?

11/02/2025

The month of November is Military Family Month dedicated to military families in Ohio and around the world. The annual observance recognizes the commitment, dedication and sacrifices Ohio’s Military families make for our military to remain organized and strong.

While their servicemen and women are actively serving, deployed or training, their families left behind provide a vital foundation at home that inspire confidence in the field. Spouses and children are often separated from their service members for long periods of time and across great distances.

This month and every month, ODVS asks that you thank a veteran, active duty, reserve or national guard service member or family member, for their service by giving back.

- Adopt a military family for the holidays.
- Offer to run errands for military spouses who may have their hands full with their children or even their pets.
- Volunteer or donate services to military organizations.
