Fifth Third Bank has launched its annual “Honoring Our Veterans” campaign dedicated to providing comfort items and necessities for injured and recovering military members. From loose-fitting clothing to cover substantial burns to iPods that help drown out constant ringing in the ears from a combat explosion, many recovering veterans finds themselves in need of resources oftentimes not covered by their health insurance. This year’s campaign will fund The American Legion’s Operation Comfort Warriors, a program dedicated to filling those gaps for veterans when government resources fall short. Now through Nov. 14, Fifth Third customers can purchase an “Honoring Our Veterans” star ($1 minimum donation), with all the proceeds going to OCW (www.legion.org/ocw). The bank will match all donations up to $10,000. For more information, visit www.53.com/military.
