Giving back is a true act of kindness that touches hearts and changes lives. Our dedicated volunteers at Marion VA Health Care have shared their reasons for serving our precious Veterans,

and their stories are truly inspiring.

Ever wondered why they do it? We asked them, and their answers warmed our hearts. For some, it's a way to pay tribute to those who served our country. For others, it's about giving back to a

cause close to their hearts. But for all of them, it's about making a meaningful impact on the lives of our Veterans.

Kevin Johnson, Marion VA Volunteer Driver with the Disabled American Veterans.

I’m a Veteran myself so I know what it’s like to be in need.  And I know there are many Veterans out there that are needing rides to get to their medical appointments. We perform the service

because you get to see a smile on their face, and it shows these Veterans how much they are actually cared for. The VA is genuinely trying to take care of these Veterans. 

I encourage anyone else to step forward and to try volunteering. You would be surprised at what you get out of it.
