I know so many Red Cross volunteers who used their paid vacation or took leave without pay to spend weeks at disaster sites, enduing long hours and terrible conditions, just to help those in need. Of course, this isn't limited to disaster volunteers. Every day, all over the country, volunteers give of themselves meeting needs that might otherwise go unmet. So to them I say, Thank you.LD Mastersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202135756299574972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-68343494766352230602012-05-28T05:20:19.126-07:002012-05-28T05:20:19.126-07:00Very well said Lee, I can't add to that list, ...Very well said Lee, I can't add to that list, you have said it all.
