Many vets, leaving after being treated, openly expressed gratitude for the care they received. Others, waiting their turn, talked about the treatment they were going to receive. One 80-something vet said he was having 16 teeth removed. Others, including a vet who looked to be in his 90s, talked about needing fillings, root canals and other procedures they needed but couldn’t afford.
Many wives, waiting for their husbands to come back from treatment, expressed relief that their husbands were getting care they’d needed for years.
I hope I’m speaking for all the vets when I say the treatments we received were greatly appreciated. God bless all the people who volunteered to make this day happen.
