In anticipation of June 9th, I wanted to be sure you had this badge in your portfolio. Only the owner of the Veterans' Group can send it, and I think only one person had it before I inherited the group. Now you're part of a very small, super special set of people with this badge. *^*Heart*^* Thank you for your awesome support of the Veterans Group, and for your personal friendship here. *^*Salute*^* *^*Heartv*^* *^*Star*^*](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-Veteran=39s_Christmas-433283_15.gif) ![Merit Badge in Veteran Resilience
