"what is your why" - va veteran volunteer, donnie houghland, shares why he does it | va marion health care | veterans affairs

If you are searching for a meaningful way to give back, we invite you to join our volunteer team! Together, we can make an even greater impact and bring smiles to the faces of those who have

bravely served our country. Have you ever found yourself pondering the motivations behind why individuals engage in such selfless acts? We took the initiative to inquire directly, and the

responses we received were truly heartwarming. For a significant number of these compassionate souls, their drive stems from a deep-rooted desire to pay homage to those who selflessly served

our country.  Others feel compelled to dedicate their time and efforts towards causes that hold personal significance, thus enabling them to give back in a profound manner. Regardless of

their individual reasons, it is abundantly clear that each and every one of them is driven by an unyielding determination to make a meaningful impact on the lives of our beloved Veterans.
