Americans will rally around the troops Veterans Day week (November 8-13) by volunteering in support of and alongside active-duty military, veterans and military families through the Mission Serve initiative. Major events partnering military, civilians and nonprofits with corporate sponsors Walmart and Bank of America will take place in more than 20 cities across the United States. Americans will also be able to log onto the new www.MissionServe.org website to find volunteer opportunities in their own region and download free toolkits for use by individuals, religious groups, schools and community organizations to plan their own activities. First Lady Michelle Obama, Dr. Jill Biden and Mrs. Alma Powell first helped launch the Mission Serve initiative Veterans Day 2009.
