Gaye J. from Marietta, GA sent this news about a wonderful group of volunteers who help a wonderful group of Americans:
Yesterday afternoon my sister sent me this link with photos: http://unclejohnd.myphotoalbum.com Our great Uncle John D (aka Alligator John D, but that’s a whole ‘nother story… a small book, actually) was flown yesterday with a group of WWII Vets from Alabama to visit the WWII Memorial in DC. There is a nonprofit whose mission is to get as many WWII Vets, who are relatively old, to see the WWII Memorial, which is relatively new. They fly them in for the day and provide volunteer caregivers (red shirts in pix) where needed. Our Aunt Lola was working in DC and was able to be there with him as well as my sister Gina and niece Jessy, who live in Manassas. I just thought this was a cool, feel-good story that I’d share with you.
“What you see depends on where you look.” Those words are a reminder that we can improve our mood, our day and our outlook on life just by focusing on the positive things in life, instead of the negative things. With that in mind, Tell Me Something Good! Let’s share our successes, the little things that make us smile, and everything good. And if you find yourself having a bad day, come here, read a while and re-find your own smile.
