Way to go, fellas.

Have to say …

 this was a particular amazing thing for me personally …

 I'm in downtown Berkeley, dealing with some fucked up shit with some wounded warriors that is very distressing…

 and I look at the news stand and see this ….

 Thank you so Much …

Back to fight …

Marv, your bbq was IMO, the best food ever served at a Nor-cal HOW event. It really made the day. Especially since no one was catching fish.Thank you for bringing your crew and making it happen. Native sons bbq rocks.

She cleaned all the meat off, took some home for her extended family for soup.  I did the smart thing, and packaged it, froze it, and it is ready for
the next time I go crabbing.  Smoked meats for those crustaceans .

WTG, guys. This morning my coworker handed me the article clipped from the SJ Merc.

I love to see the smiles as they get into it, pass that worry point and get to the Freedom part of the experience. Serving those folks will fill even the toughest heart and soul with joy. Tears flow at times. Pure joy explodes as they let go for even 10 min and just flow with the waters Volunteer and get some joy in life....
