I love the people, who I encounter. The veterans are strong resilient survivors, who have moments of vulnerability. Our staff are compassionate and hardworking. With their diverse set of personalities, they tackle seemingly insurmountable tasks from different angles resulting an awesome team effort.  Our donors are goodhearted, kind and generous. At the end of each day, I am reminded that the simple things can bring the most joy. Humor and creativity are necessary, and to-do lists are a guideline."
