Veterans always need a lot of help and the government is not equipped to perform all that is needed. That’s why many organizations step up to the plate and give a helping hand. I’ve covered a lot of benefits but when I got this assignment I was a little astonished. This one was sponsored by Ormond in the Pines which is an assisted living facility. However, this poker run for veterans to benefit Outward Bound was very well organized. Jodi Wilmot and David Drew, and all of their volunteers deserve a lot of credit. Even though it was on a weekend where there was a lot going on all over, they had a great turnout. We started out of the Cabbage Patch Bar where we were treated to coffee, donuts, and even hotdogs, supplied by the bartenders. From there we went to the Roadside Tavern, Main Street Station, Saints and Sinners, and ended at the Beaver Bar for BBQ and live entertainment. It’s great to see that we still have people in this country that care for the needs of our veterans. “Oorah”
