Today was a day where I was finally able to do something I've wanted to do for a while now by getting more involved with volunteer work. Even with everything that has been going on this past month, this was a nice distraction back to "normal". We volunteered at a Homeless Veterans standdown at the DC VAMC today.
I cannot explain the reality check this event put me in seeing the men and women who once served our country in need of our help. The volunteers and services there really do care about the men and women trying to help them get these veterans off the streets and improve their overall quality of life. Seeing the hundreds of volunteers and services taking time out of their Saturday to come together and work as a team to help these veterans was nothing short of admirable. Overall....great success! It makes me realize that no matter what you may have going on in your life, it's always important to be sure to give back to the world and do something to help your fellow mankind.
What could you do today to make a difference in the lives of other's?
