Veterans in San Diego received a gift with local significance.
During this season of giving, I wanted to post this heartwarming story.
As everyone knows, Whitehall is the birthplace of the U.S. Navy. While Peter Ballantyne was in Whitehall this past summer, he picked up some tee-shirts commemorating this fact, to distribute to some veterans he works with at the Paralyzed Veterans of America, at his winter home in San Diego, California. These vets are in the spinal cord injury unit, and needless to say, appreciated Peter’s thoughtfulness.
So on the day after Navy beat Army in the traditional Army/Navy football game, I wanted to post these pictures and thank Peter for demonstrating what this season is really about.
The veterans also learned about the history of the U.S. Navy in Whitehall.
