My staff and I volunteered at the Golden Isles Veterans Village that is being spearheaded by Lorene Reid and a great group of volunteers. Among the jobs my staff and I are involved in are general cleanup, doorknob and deadbolt installation, and wall demolishing. This is a great project that will help ensure that our veterans, who are our heroes, don’t go homeless
