March, 2018 Dear Sample, Were you surprised to see two quarters peeking out from your envelope? Well, that’s understandable. But I sent them to you—$.50—to illustrate a point … How much will $.50 get you these days? Not much! But there’s something much more important you can do—and it only takes $.50 a day! Sample, $.50 a day is all it takes to become a VFW Partner in Patriotism—a monthly supporter. I’m encouraging you to take this simple step today and start making your contributions to the VFW work harder FOR VETERANS! $.50 a day is the change in the console of your car. It’s the coins jingling around on top of your dresser or the bottom of your handbag. But when we can count on you, and other caring members like you, as trusted VFW Partners in Patriotism—monthly supporters—the VFW can turn your spare change into life-changing moments for your fellow veterans. Just look at what your monthly gift of $15—just $.50 a day—means to our heroes: • You can provide expert assistance to a separating service member on receiving their wellearned VA benefits. • Train 3 VFW Service Officers on signs of emotional suffering so they can better direct veterans to the programs and services they need. • Say “welcome home” with 4 morale-boosting meals for defenders recently back from combat. You can see it doesn’t take much to make a big difference for a fellow veteran who will appreciate knowing you care almost as much as the help they receive as a result of your kindness. So, can I count on you to become a VFW Partner in Patriotism today, Sample? Please use the enclosed form and return envelope to sign up as a monthly VFW Partner in Patriotism. And please return the $.50 as a symbol of how, working together, we can all chip in a little at a time to make such a meaningful difference for veterans. One of the best parts of becoming a VFW Partner in Patriotism is that it truly makes your donations go further for the men and women who fight for our freedom—and it’s more convenient for you! As our newest VFW Partner in Patriotism you’ll make a bigger impact for veterans by: (over, please)

• Providing faithful, at-the-ready support for financial assistance programs. • Allowing us to plan more meaningful, long-term programs thanks to a reliable stream of support. • Reducing overhead costs and ensuring more of your gift goes to the veterans you care so much about. It saves you time and earns you perks because: • Your tax-deductible monthly gift is scheduled and made automatically—not one more thing to add to your to-do list. • We’ll send you a quarterly newsletter filled with stories and detailed accounts of where your donations are going and how they’re helping. You have never hesitated when our nation’s struggling veterans need you. Please give this request some serious consideration. And please take just a moment to complete the enclosed form and return it to me along with the $.50 I’ve enclosed as a symbol of your daily commitment to your fellow veterans. Remember: your gift of just $15 a month positions us to do even more for veterans … It is my distinct honor to invite you to join this esteemed group of VFW members, and I hope to welcome you today. I wish I could honestly say the government stands at the ready to properly care for the veterans it creates when it sends our best and brightest to war. But, that’s just not always true. It’s veterans like you who step up to do what needs to be done. Who step up to do the right thing for your fellow veterans and their families. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your past support of the VFW and our heroes, and I thank you for reading my letter today. Your dedication and patriotism do not go unnoticed by the VFW or the veterans you help through your continued generosity. FOR VETERANS,

Brian Duffy Adjutant General P.S.
