I have been a VA volunteer for about four years and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I have met so many fantastic vets from WWII to Iraq/Afghanistan. Listening to their stories and comforting the ones who have nobody can be heartbreaking, but when I remember who they are and what they have gone through I expect I can be there for them. Sooooo. . . if you have some spare time look into volunteering at a VA medical center in your area. You won't regret it.
