After my Dad (USAF 1950's) volunteered during a HOW event in Lodi 2 or 3 years ago, he was so moved by the event, Terri and I started talking to Don about bringing this program to our Veterans in the far North State, we've spoke to veterans groups and individuals in the area to promote the concept and recruit volunteers.  We pledged 100% support to ensure HOW would want for nothing and need nothing for an event once organized.  But it was not our place to organize.  All we needed we're the right people to step up and make it happen.  I want to thank everyone that has worked so hard to bring this together and look forward to seeing a smile, just one smile this Spring makes it all worthwhile.  Semper fi
