It is difficult to find the words to express our gratitude for all you have done for us for four days in April. You have shared your home, your food, your pets, Fred and Sid, but most of all your love for your fellow man and your friends that you are blessed to have. We typically don’t take from others without giving in return, yet we know you expect nothing in return. Hopefully our appreciation for this trip is enough for now. This will always be a moment to remember and cherish. Our hearts have surely grown through this experience.
I don’t mean to sound humble, yet it was tough to accept your generosity at first. The young man that honestly deserves this died 50 years ago. I was wounded trying to save the life of a young man from West Virginia that in turn gave his life for me. I came her in honor of him. Thank you Brad, Julie, Dan, Kathy, Crystal and Gabe. God Bless you.
