This week was a quite productive week. This week I visited with two households, three different Veterans. I will tell you a little about them.
My first visit was with a U.S. Navy Veteran. He served during Vietnam on several ships. He has Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. His breathing is continuously labored with an ever decreasing activity tolerance. I was able to pin him with a We Honor Veterans flag pin. I also presented him with a certificate of appreciation. This was all to thank him for his service to our country.
Next I visited with a couple whom both served in the U.S. Air Force. They served during WWII. They are both in their 90's and have been married for 67 years. She was a nurse while he was a fighter pilot. I was able to hear so many stories about his flight time and her service on hospital ships. In a few weeks when their family is able to attend, I plan on visiting them to pin them and present them with certificates of appreciation.
Every job is an important one no matter how small some might view it. Any enlistment in the armed forces, no matter the length is a sacrifice which didn't have to be made. I can only imagine what it must feel like serving during such a pivotal time in American history.
That was the basics for this week. I hope to have more exciting news for you next week wth even more patient visits. Until then, have a good week!
