Thanks for sharing this information Kym.

I’ve been involved with Stand Down since the start in 2006 (doing PR), but haven’t been active these last two years for a multiude of reasons. For example, it’s difficult for me to be around large crowds with my PTSD.

I’m just happy to see the program continues to “Give a Hand Up – Not a Handout” to our veterans who need it.

Here’s an excellent opportunity to help homeless vets in a meaningful way. No rhetoric, just positive results. Thanks for your service, to all veterans.

Thanks for posting it, Kym. It’s odd that a nation with a military budget as big as ours that any vet should ever want for shelter, food or medical attention.

That was Gene at this years Redwood Run. He’s also the Bugler for the Honor Guard.

Thanks to you and Ernie for identifying him. His singing brought tears to my eyes.
