She, like many of the volunteers, do this
because they appreciate the sacrifices,
commitment and service the Veterans
have given to this country.
Turner stated, “It allows me the ability to
thank them for fighting for the freedoms
that me and my family have. In some
cases, I can say, “Welcome Home” to a
Veteran that may never got to hear those
words.”
D uring her [Turner] visits
with the Veterans, she
recalls of a time when she
was distributing Girl Scout
cookies to three Veterans
who were sitting with one
another. One had served
in World War II, the second one served
in Korea and the third in Vietnam. Being
able to share in their stories and listen
to what they had been through was a
gift of historical events.
“The history and the conversations with
those gentlemen, was incredible,”
Turner stated.
“May No Soldier Go Unloved” and may
the joy of giving of a heart, whether
that be handmade, or store bought, the
meaning is the same – The gift is giving
from the heart.
