I just wanted to take a minute to update you all on what happened with the search for a Guadalcanal veteran yesterday. As you can imagine we were not the only people on the case, but I pushed Greg Walcott’s lead to the points of contact in the request for assistance yesterday. But I appreciate every lead everyone recommended yesterday.
I received a couple of follow up emails. The first is from the volunteer coordinator at the hospice.
Adam,
Thank you!
We did find someone to speak with our patient, however, I am forwarding all the correspondence I receive to them and allow them to follow through if they choose.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Carol Galione
And this second one is from the Deputy Executive Director at BRiDGES, whose request was tweeted out by the American Legion in NY:
Good evening Adam,
Thank you so much for what you did today! It is kind and generous. I am bowled over by the response in the veteran community to help a fellow veteran.
At this time the family feels it will be too much for the veteran to speak with another veteran.
I really appreciate your efforts and if the family changes their mind, Hospice will reach out.
Thanks again!
Best,
Lorraine
So you all did good!
Stay sharp!
