We all get wrapped up in work from time to time. Is there anything you do to give back to the community around you?

We deliver eggs from our chickens to the widows of veterans and a couple Older retired Vietnam vets locally. I also help with vacation bible study for the kids in the summer and have served as a merit badge counselor for construction trades for the Boy Scouts.

My first volunteer experience was with the Cold War Ground Observer Corps. We were trained by U.S.A.F. & served whenever called upon. When "alerts" were called, the Post Supervisor (a WW II paratrooper, captured on Sicily) prepared a roster to cover the duration of the alert. I take great pride in the fact Soviet aircraft never bombed my little Southern Colorado town.
