HE STILL SERVES

He’s in his mid-70’s.

He goes out to the cemetery and neatly mows and trims a grave with his own mower and weed-whacker.

He’s a veteran. He served three tours in Vietnam. T-h-r-e-e.

The grave he cares for in Resthaven Cemetery/Duncan, OK is that of another veteran; a veteran of WWII.

Mind you, he doesn’t do this only on occasion; he does it regularly. In fact, he couldn’t imagine not doing it.

Whenever he goes, he takes a friend with him. Doesn’t that make you smile? “Many hands make light work.”

Oh, and one more thing … the veteran has no feet.

No. Feet.

And he uses a push mower.

So why not just go and do likewise? On Sat., May 27. At 10 AM. And beyond.

Bring a push mower or trimmer. Pick up wind-borne trash and fallen limbs.

Volunteer. Do good. With a smile. Show respect for our veterans.

Whether or not you have feet.

Serve.
