Summer and her pal are keeping me company while I flip blueberry flapjacks.
I'm thinking about fall mornings I've stood and flipped hundreds of pancakes for veterans during the North Coast Stand Down. This weekend will be the twentieth anniversary of our local version of this event.
I first volunteered after hearing an appeal on the radio as I drove to work. The organizers were expecting hundreds of veterans at our local fairgrounds but were short cooks and bottlewashers. It was through that experience that I learned that my husband was eligible for benefits due to his service.
Haircuts, dental care, veterinary services and good food made for a helpful weekend for the participants. The volunteers score a t-shirt and the good feeling you get from doing a good thing.
I chaired their board for three years before passing the torch when my husband needed me more.
Good morning Mastodon.
