Filanthropy Friday

I hate it when NPR makes me cry.

However, this frequently happens on Friday because that's when Morning Edition plays StoryCorps.  The stories have been recorded by real people from across America and even when they're funny, they make me cry.

Today's story was a grandfather telling his grandson how he played Taps to mark the end of World War II.  It's only two minutes long, but it just had me sobbing in my car. 

In honor of Memorial Day - I donated $25 to Vet Dogs.  Vet Dogs provides services and companion animals to wounded (physically or emotionally) and/or aging veterans.  The dogs are provided at no cost to the veteran.  

I love dogs and veterans, so it seemed like a great way to celebrate Memorial Day!
