Janessa is in a choir class in GRACE this semester, and they went to sing for the veterans today. They sounded amazing! They sang all the hymns of the different military divisions; the Air-force, the Navy, the Army, and the Marines, they asked the veterans of each division to stand or show some kind of recognition when they heard their division honored. One of the veterans, who could no longer walk, was in the Navy and we had a chance to talk to him. He was in Japan at the time of the surrender of WWII. He had lots of stories that he told us, and lots of funny things. But looking back, he had an amazing amount of good things to say about all the other branches of the military. We really had a wonderful time talking to him. I would really suggest anyone to take the time to have a long conversation with a veteran at least once in your life....if not many more times.
