Veterans at the V.A.
#3

It's a CRIME, a SIN, and should be a National SHAME whenever any of our Veterans do not get good care!!

 

I'm very sorry Brooke that your Uncle didn't receive the kind of care he DESERVES. It's DISGRACEFUL :armata_PDT_19: .

 

I think we all need to get more involved in our local veteran's facilities.

The local VA Healthcare center is in West Roxbury and my mother crocheted an untold number of blankets for the vets there - but there's a whole lot of other things things that they need or things people can volunteer to do.

 

My cousin Maryann (we're really like sisters) is having her 70th bday this year & has announced to her family that she wants no gifts, no party - she intends

to spend the day as a volunteer & I'm recommending that we do something for the West Roxbury VA Hospital. So far - she & I are the only ones who've "signed up" , but I'll see if I can "browbeat" some more "recruits" at Easter dinner. Maryann is so beautiful, so funny & loving, such a ray of sunshine,

and she's also the QUEEN of chatterboxes so, though they may not get a word in edgewise - at least the Vets would be entertained. :D

 

Here's an article that was in our local paper that gives you alot of good ideas about what you can volunteer to do or donate. It is wonderful also to see how many local school kids are visiting our veterans. Get the # of your local VA Hospital & ask em what they need.
