Indeed. I live at street level so to speak.

I consider myself fortunate based in what I see.


>I'm a member of a small group of war veterans here in Hamilton, NJ whose only purpose is to raise money to help veterans here who have fallen on hard times.
>The VA gives us names of particularly needy vets or their widows and when we raise enough money we give some families debit cards from local banks.
>When we visit these families to present the cards it's sobering to see how the price of a round of golf at Pebble Beach or a seat at the NY Philharmonic can make the difference between having heat for a month or not for one of these families.
