Dec. 13th - Delivered 132 books, Veterans Hospital

Description:

About my visit: "What an honor to be invited into their world and allowed to visit with the Vets on the hospital floors. I was amazed at the number of Vietnam Vets who were patients and the honor of having served that still binds them to each other after all these years. 

Many paitients were bed ridden and I was permitted to go room to room and sign a copy of my book for those who were interested. Everyone, no matter their condition, was incredibly grateful and I was always thanked with a "God Bless" for having simply taken the time and given them a book. I will never forget these heroes!" Bob Harvey
