As it's Veteran's Day I'm writing to share the story of a Veteran who, as far as I know, is still working to make things better for others. I know this story is from a while back but it still seems fitting to share it today. I saw this story of a Captain in England, who was recently knighted whose name is now Captain Sir Thomas Moore. He decided he was going to walk lengths around his house and people would donate money to sponsor each length to support Britain's National Health Service. He initially hoped to raise £1,000 before he turned 100. Word got out about Captain Tom's quest and he ended up raising £32.79 million by his birthday. For his efforts he was knighted by the Queen and promoted to honorary Colonel. Captain Tom fought in World War II in Burma (Myanmar).
Captain Tom has since started a foundation that now seeks to prevent loneliness. To support Captain Tom's efforts visit his Foundation's website: (https://captaintom.org/).
I send much love and best wishes to Captain Tom and all veterans.
