Mr. Don is the definition of "I CARE." He goes above and beyond for every one of our veterans. Since COVID-19, Mr. Don has volunteered for at least one shift every day, sometimes two or three shifts. He never complains. He is very honest and respectful. He shows respect to all, even when he doesn't get it in return. He is committed to serving our veterans and strives for excellence in all that he does.
