Va volunteer driver, kevin johnson, shares with us why he does it | va marion health care | veterans affairs

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
