My name is April Stringer. I am a nursing student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and I am participating in the honors program. As part of the honors program, I have done some research and will participate in a service learning project in my community based upon that research. I also have to create and maintain a blog with weekly updates. I hope that you will follow me and feel free to interject your opinions, comments or ideas.

Happy Veterans Day 2012!!

I did go do a little work in preparation for the Veterans Day Parade this upcoming Monday. Other than that, this week I was able to go sit with a patient that was dying from End Stage Alzheimer's Disease. This was to provide relief to his caregiver so that she was able to get out and vote on Tuesday.

This is just shy of Veterans Day being that it is Saturday night. But I would like to take the time to thank all those who have served or are serving our wonderful country in some form or fashion whether that is through military service or our police officers and firemen. As I have stated before, that is a sacrifice that doesn't have to be made but it is what is required in order for each and every one of us to continue to live in freedom.

 
As you all know, I will be participating in the Veterans Day Parade on Monday. I am so excited to experience that. It will be the first Veterans Day Parade that I have ever been to, much less that I have been a part of.
 
 
I will leave you with a beautiful video that reminds every one of us of our freedom each time that we hear it. I hate that it is at a football game because it isn't the best quality. It is the National Anthem performed by the combined choirs of our Armed Forces. Again, I extend my thanks for your service!
 
 
I will update you all on my parade experience next week. Until then, I hope that you all have a wonderful week!
