I am a vet from the university of Nam, and volenteer driving DAV van to the VA hospital 2 1/2 hrs away. But I still wonder at times what else I could do to say thank you, without spending a lot of low income cash out of the pocket?
Our hospital is one of the finest in Iowa City Iowa, thus we can count our blessings that others do not have. If I lived closer I would help out on bad wether days etc. Yet I simply have no excuse for not doing more.
I have thought of calling the politicians, but have problems not chocking the living crap out of them and their phony photo options, and there heart felt prayers in front of the cameras.
Perhaps someone can give a few ideas that all of us could contribute towards our vets.
Just in case someone offers the yellow ribbon stickers that give a portion of the proceeds towards the vets, no thanks! I would like to give it directly to a vet instead of supporting a well marketed product.
Now some of you recall my old NE IA Dave handle as well as my stories of a blind vet that I haul ocasionaly. He has told others that he enjoys me tricking him, teasing him etc. as few people treat him as someone other than a medical patient. Such things as "Sorry, you will probably have to sit on someone elses lap today as the Van is full, do you want the front seat so you can see out the windshield, (he is TOTALY blind) or do you want to sit in the back seat with the nympho / half drunk, and mostly naked cheerleaders?
And last of all I would like to suggest that thre are very happy moments (some with tears) in volenteering to not only the Vets, but also to your comunity. It certianly looks like in the future we will be forced to help others as our government seems to be drifting towards helping lots of people, or make that folks in foreign countries---no maybe folks from foreign countries---lets make that ---just maybe not our own folks so much.
