I would like you to know.... [View all]

That I volunteered today at Fort Miley VA hospital in San Francisco. I ran into some pretty relieved veterans, most of whom rely on that Disability check once a month. Some are 100% disabled (and get a full check) while others are 75%, 50% and each were relieved that their government was back to work. I think on November 1st, I might bring in some of my pumpkin spice sugar cookies to pass out with the Coffee.
