“No one stands so tall as when they stoop to help a Child”
Abraham Lincoln   

Each year K4K Week is celebrated around Veterans Day (November 11th). 

Fortunately, more and more Child Health Care Facilities are reopening their doors to us post-COVID.

In addition to other K4K visits made during the year, I encourage USSVI Bases to schedule and make a K4K visit to Kids as close to Veterans Day as possible.

This is done to:

1. Take advantage of a period when Child Health Care Facilities are more likely to welcome visits by Veterans. If your base does not have a K4K Program, it is a perfect time to start one.  If your base has a K4K program but is experiencing difficulty accessing a facility, this is a great time to approach them. 

2. Obtain local and national recognition of USSVI’s Kap(SS) 4 Kid(SS) Program andlet our communities learn about who we are.

3. Have Sub Vets interact with Children, their families, and facility staff when appreciation for Veterans is at its highest.

4. Bring joy to sick Children, their families, and the Sub Vets who visit them!

“We begin by imagining that we are giving to them; we end by realizing that they have enriched us”
Pope John Paul II

Thanks for all you do for sick Children and their families, by participating in this Life Changing USSVI Community Outreach Program!
