Today was just as awesome- a completely FREE "Welcome Home" party for all local vets and their families, from all wars.  Again, all food and drinks were donated, as were games for the kids and live entertainment for all to enjoy.  At both events, the Cincinnati VA's new mobile clinic was present.  That thing is amazing- a 40 foot expand-o-van (as Keith called it), with 4 rooms: one dental, one mental health, one registration and one general medical.  I am still in awe of it.  The unit was a project headed up by The Thank You Foundation, designed and built by Armor Mobile Systems, and completely funded by the uniform and safety company, Cintas.  Today was the grand public unveiling (we got a sneak peek at the dinner last night, but that was a private event)- and it was only fitting that it was Armed Forces Day.


Between the two events, I would guess that 3,000 vets and their families were taken care of and welcomed home.  I was proud to be a part of it. ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/05/armed_forces_da_2.html#comment-88800 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/05/armed_forces_da_2.html#comment-88800 Sat, 16 May 2009 21:11:40 -0600
