Each of the volunteers spent time decorating cookies, writing thank you cards, crafting red, white and blue flag pins and filling goody bags before the event. On November 11, they gathered together in the early afternoon hours at the Wade Park Campus of the VA Medical Center. The group went door to door in ward 4A of the hospital and spent time with each of the veterans, thanking them for their service to our country and for the many sacrifices they have made on our behalf. The veterans were gracious and very humble. When thanking one veteran for all that he has done, he replied, I haven't done anything. Others told stories of their families and some told stories of war. One gentleman chose to open his thank you card in front of the volunteers and looked up with tears in his eyes as he began to gush about his grandson that loves to �play soldier.
