Four years ago, Mildred was 96 and still living in the Midwest. In her mid?80s, she gave up flying. In her early 90s, she gave up golf. If you remember, Nancy Drew was a great golfer and she even wins a tour with a broken hand.

So what is the secret to her never?ending appeal?

Throughout her life, she was a role model for us all. And recognition I am glad to say is finally catching up with her.

Here we are flying around with guys shooting at us, and we didn't know if our wingman was OK, if they'd crashed, if they were alive -- couldn't get them on the radio,

It's like watching a movie in someone's living room.

One of our clients was living alone after the loss of her spouse and was unable to drive because of health reasons. Once our volunteers started helping her with transportation and minor repairs to her home, she began to feel better and became more independent. Her health has improved and now she can drive short distances to the store and her church. This is only one example of the tremendous impact our volunteers make.
