For Our Heroes

I mentioned before that I was raised by my grandparents. Well, I moved back home with them when my kids and I left the California Naval Base we were on and we've been with them ever since. My papaw is an Army Veteran of two wars. World War 1 and the Korean War. He now goes to the Veterans Hospital (aka the VA) for all of his medical care. I take him out there atleast once a week and sometimes more. Everytime i'm there I am amazed by all of the stories I hear. This hospital is so wonderful. Not just because of the staff, or the the facility itself but because of the heroic patients. Our veterans. These men (and women) are our fathers, grandfathers, brothers, and neighbors. And I know by living with one that these heroes rarely get the respect or honor that they deserve. It doesn't matter what your opinion is of the war or what your political views are. The bottom line is that these men and women fought and many gave thier lives so that you can have that opinion.
    
So, today I decided to volunteer at the VA. I think alot of times we "civillians" think that aside from joining the military, there really isn't much we can do to show our support for our military or our country. Which just so happens to be the best country in the world. If you disagree with that........... move. I am a single mom of three, trying to g back to school, work,and help take care of  my grandparents. I WILL find the time to help these special people in this hospital. Just something to think abu :0)
