Community Invited To Write Letters Of Appreciation To Veterans - 10/23/26

Pasco, WA – October 26, 2026 — Columbia Basin College (CBC) Veterans are inviting the community to take part in a special letter-writing initiative honoring veterans by sharing messages of gratitude, encouragement, and appreciation for their military service in honor of Veterans Day. Letters should be submitted by November 4, 2026.

 

The campaign provides an opportunity for individuals, families, students, businesses, and community organizations to recognize the sacrifices made by veterans and to help ensure they know their service has not been forgotten.

 

Handwritten notes and letters can have a lasting impact, offering veterans a personal reminder that their commitment and sacrifice are valued by the community they served.

 

"Taking a few minutes to write a note turns gratitude into something real a veteran can keep close to their heart," said Floyd Eggers, Director for Veterans Education & Transition Services. "It lets them know that our community never takes their dedication for granted and proudly honors their service."

 

Organizers encourage participants to share heartfelt messages of thanks, words of encouragement, or reflections on the importance of military service. Whether a short note or a longer letter, every message helps demonstrate appreciation for those who have served our nation.

 

"This initiative is a simple yet powerful way for people of all ages to express gratitude," said Eggers. "A few thoughtful words can make a meaningful difference and remind veterans that their service continues to be recognized and appreciated."

 

Letters collected through the campaign will be distributed to veterans throughout the community.

 

How to Participate

  • Write a card or letter expressing appreciation for a veteran's service.
  • Keep messages positive, respectful, and encouraging.
  • Submit letters to CBC by November 4 at the Veterans Services Department in the H Building, CBC Pasco campus.

For questions or additional information on this initiative, please contact Floyd Eggers, Director of Veterans Education & Transition Services, at veterans@columbiabasin.edu.
