Scott's View: Veterans Advantage’s New Year 2015 Gratitude Message

Scott Higgins, WeSalute Co-founder & Co-CEO

As 2014 draws to a close, we give thanks for our blessings - our family and loved ones, the freedoms we enjoy in our country, our work, the big things and the small. We join together in our hope for a better year ahead. We also pause to pray for those who are still serving in harm's way to protect our way of life, and cannot be with their families during this holiday season.

This week we honor Carolyn Blashek for her extraordinary outreach to our servicemen and women through Operation Gratitude, the organization she founded after 9/11. Please read her inspirational story. Operation Gratitude, under Carolyn Blashek's leadership, was a key partner in helping Veterans Advantage distribute over 460,000 complimentary VetRewards Cards to our military during the height of OEF & OIF.

Let us never forget those who did not return from service to the country and their families who have sacrificed so much. And, as we begin the New Year, we pray for the safe return of those currently in theater.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year! From all of us at Veterans Advantage, we wish you a peaceful 2015.

While the golden rule of travel is usually "book early," we know that military & veteran life doesn't always adhere to a strict schedule. If you are just now finalizing your plans for Hanukkah, Christmas, or New Year's, don't panic. Preparation is still the key to a stress-free vacation, and even at this late stage, knowing where to look can lead to significant savings.
Scott Higgins Discounts & Benefits Connecting When It Matters Most: Your Two Weeks to Make Memories As the calendar flips closer to the end of the year, we enter what I always consider the most critical two weeks for connection. This run-up to the holidays — from mid-December right through Christmas and New Year’s — is when the impulse to connect with friends, family, and loved ones becomes a necessity. For the military community, whose lives are defined by separation, these are the moments you simply can't miss.
