Stockings for Veterans drive-Oklahoma

11/28/2020

I wasn’t going to deliver stockings this year after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, however, it gives me a lot of happiness to see the Veterans happy. I’m delivering, but not near as many and unfortunately, due to my immune system will not be able to hand deliver to the Veterans in their rooms. The volunteer service will hand out. Thank you to SFC Julie Hamilton for providing the candy and all the stockings this year.

I would like to thank those who have supported this project in the past. I have been able, with the support of many people in in public, to deliver smiles and stockings filled with goodies to the OKC BA Hospital and OKC VA Homeless

In March of this year I was diagnosed with a rare terminal bone marrow cancer. I am going into the hospital on October 2nd and will not be able to come home until around Thanksgiving. For this reason I will be unable to fulfill and deliver the stockings.

I would like to thank everyone for their support. I will return stronger in 2021! Our veterans thank everyone for your support!!!
