AARP, which is dedicated to empowering Americans aged 50 and older, is determined to honor and assist our military veterans, not just by word but also by deed.  A wide and growing array of

AARP resources, from health and wellness to financial services, and beyond, is aimed at those who have sacrificed so much. Check out our Veterans' Guide to AARP Member Benefits. “We

have a long history supporting veterans who have served in the armed forces,” said AARP Kentucky state director Troy Broussard, a Desert Storm Army veteran. “We launched our Veterans and

Military Families (VMF) initiative to really focus on what’s important to the veteran. They told us how they want us to show up.” In a recent AARP survey, veterans revealed their greatest

needs relate to caregiving, fraud, connection to benefits, and career help. You can check out all things AARP and veterans on social media via the hashtag #AARPSalutesVets. Here is a sample
