Sending Messages to Veterans (3-30-20)

C1 >> i think we can speak for all of you when we say we are concerned for our veterans.

They have been through the worst of the worst.

Many of them are in quarantine and it's hard for them too.

They want to see their family and friends and it's not easy to do that right now.

Joining me now is david men an and the director of cameron's veteran home, welcome guys.

>> hello.

Glad to have you.

>> thank you for your service.

I want to make sure i say that, kenny.

>> you're quite welcome.

>> of course we all have been worried about you guys.

You said the spirits are up.

How is everyone responding to that?

>> so far, they post them on the board so the members can read them.

>> we want to give them the address to send letters as well.

Could you give that to me david.

>> all need to come to me first so i can hold them for 24 hours to make sure there's no virus on them.

The addresses missouri veterans home.
