A simple letter. An act of kindness. We support our veterans.

Veteran Pen Pal Project

By: Christina Etchberger, Founder of It’s a Military and Veteran Pen Pal Project

It’s a Military Life is so excited to welcome you all to Veteran Pen Pal Project!

What is a VPP?

A VPP is a Veteran Pen Pal who is willing to send letters to veterans as a simple act of kindness to support our veterans!

Below is our Veteran Pen Pal Project info card to share out to people interested in becoming a VPP! Feel free to print out as two-sided quarter sheet handout (post card style), and share out to your family, friends, and community members.

Everyone is welcome to participate! Are you a school, church, club, FRG, scouter, or group of volunteers wanting to give back? This is the place for you!

Please invite family and friends to our Facebook group! We would love to grow our community.
