My father was a WWII Vet and during the last three years of his life, I regularly took him to the VA Hospital for his health care. He loved it there. And I loved the doctors and staff who took such good care of him.
Now, my singing group, Sugartime, goes to the VA on a regular basis to sing for the Vets. We set up in the lobby or outside in the courtyard, and sing for an hour. They are so appreciative and it fills our hearts with joy.
Today's our day with the veterans. I'll catch you all later.
Blessings,

Welcome to Following the Whispers blog
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit. Hope you enjoy your stay. I blog here on Monday and Tuesday. This blog was created at the time my memoir came out, in February, 2009. Its motto was: creating a life of inner peace and self-acceptance from the depths of despair.

What a wonderful place to sing!
My father served in WWII. I'm sure the men at the veterans' hospital love to hear you sing.
Love that! You're so awesome :)
This is such a wonderful thing that you and your group do. I can imagine the vets look forward to Sugartime's visits each week.
My father was a WWII vet as well and I always loved listening to his stories about the war.
Simply wonderful
Sounds wonderful! I'm sure that it was great for all. :)
That's so wonderful.
