退伍军人节动起来：Team RWB发起250个波比跳挑战 星巴克向军人免费送咖啡
退伍军人节前后，退伍军人组织 Team Red, White & Blue（Team RWB）发起全国健身挑战，号召退伍军人与支持者在11月6日至15日期间完成「WOD for Warriors」250个波比跳（burpees）挑战，并与 Burpees for Vets 活动联动，以运动方式纪念退伍军人节。美国退伍军人事务部（VA）在其退伍军人节专题中推荐了这项活动。
Team RWB 是面向退伍军人的全国性非营利组织，长期通过跑步、健身和户外活动帮助退伍军人保持身心健康、融入社区。该组织还预告，明年2月将举办「GWOT 100」挑战，纪念全球反恐战争退伍军人，报名免费。主办方表示，挑战不设成绩门槛，参与者可分组完成，也可在家中自行完成并在线打卡。
与此同时，星巴克宣布，11月11日退伍军人节当天，退伍军人、现役军人及军人配偶可在参与门店免费领取一杯中杯（tall）热萃或冰萃咖啡。退伍军人事务部汇总页面还列出了全美多地的退伍军人节游行、纪念仪式与社区活动，供退伍军人家庭就近参加。
退伍军人事务部表示，退伍军人节不只是接受感谢的日子，许多退伍军人选择以运动、志愿服务和社区聚会的方式度过这一天。各地 VA 医疗中心也将在节日期间举办健康筛查与福利咨询活动，帮助退伍军人了解可申领的医疗与教育福利。（来源：美国退伍军人事务部）
Veterans Day Fitness Challenge: Team RWB Hosts 250-Burpee Event as Starbucks Offers Free Coffee to Military Community
Around Veterans Day, the veterans organization Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB) is running a nationwide fitness challenge, calling on veterans and supporters to complete 250 burpees in its "WOD for Warriors" event from November 6 to 15, in partnership with Burpees for Vets. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) featured the challenge in its Veterans Day coverage.
Team RWB is a national nonprofit that helps veterans stay physically and mentally healthy and connected to their communities through running, fitness and outdoor activities. The group also announced a free-registration "GWOT 100" challenge next February honoring Global War on Terror veterans. Organizers say there is no performance threshold: participants can split the reps in groups or complete them at home and check in online.
Meanwhile, Starbucks announced that on Veterans Day, November 11, veterans, service members and military spouses can receive a free tall hot or iced brewed coffee at participating stores. The VA's roundup also lists Veterans Day parades, ceremonies and community events across the country for military families.
The VA notes that for many veterans, the day is marked not only by receiving thanks but by exercise, volunteering and community gatherings. VA medical centers are also holding health screenings and benefits counseling sessions around the holiday to help veterans understand the health care and education benefits available to them.
