This is why I’d recommend this organization to others.... Every Vet, Everyone; regardless of service, age, or situation deserves to be loved, honored and to know their service and sacrifices are recognized and remembered. It is up to those who the service members fought for (the Nation-people and ideals) to make sure the veteran is not lost in a crowded system hidden behind the bustle of the “I don’t have time” or “I don’t know them”. It is very important that we do not forget our past, the sacrifices made by those who walked before us, it may not have been fair and you may not feel it is morally right; regardless it’s our duty to keep the events that shaped our country written so that the youth of the future will know the meaning helping,giving, sharing, honoring and loving for those who paid the price for the rest of us.
