How far would you drive each month to support your local (VSO) Veteran Service Organization?

Most veteran's groups are within thirty miles of my home. The VA Hospital in Orlando is between forty and fifty miles, but there is a clinic within five miles. The Association of the United States Army is over sixty miles in any direction which is problematic.

I currently travel from Jacksonville Florida to the VAMC at Lake City Florida, an average of 139 miles round trip, an average of 4 times a month to volunteer with the Disabled American Veterans as their Voluntary Services Representative.
