On Thursday afternoon,
September 8, I was fortunate to be in good company with the residents of The Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH).
Some months ago, Christine Baldwin, Librarian of AFRH reached out to me and invited me to share my most recent book,
Courage
From The Heart (Our StoreLink). I didn't hesitate in
accepting this opportunity to spend time with America's Finest, because it is
one of my favorite things to do. The Armed Forces Home is one of
America's oldest veterans' retirement homes The Soldier's home was established
in 1851 as an "asylum for old and disabled veterans." Four of the original buildings still stand
and are listed as national historic landmarks.
