One day last spring while doing my civic duty volunteering at the local hospital, I met a man who was most unusual. He was accompanied by his wife of 55 years. This gentleman had received a Purple Heart in the Korean War and had lost a son in the 1968 Tet Offensive in Vietnam. Within the past three years he had lost a lung to cancer and recovered from triple bypass surgery. His wife was a breast cancer survivor. They were caring for their grown granddaughter who has cerebral palsy. Neither he nor his wife were patients at the hospital that day.
They were new volunteers.
