The Algonquin Regiment

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

This is what I love about this job.... someone you've ben able to help and who appreciates it. I'd like to share with you excerpts of her last. It was titled "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!":

I am so grateful to you. Tears of Joy. Today is my birthday. I cannot
think of a better gift than to share this information with my dad when
he wakes up from his nap.

I am so proud of him. It is beyond my understanding how he, and all
Veterans were asked and they answered and yet treat this ultimate gift
like it was all in a days work.

Dad lost most of his hearing in that incident. came home, did not
complain. I am sure he felt coming home was enough. He and mom raised
10 children on the farm of his father and mother. He lives on that
homestead today.

Only recently I have been asking for assistance for him through Veterans
Affairs to help him with some of the daily chores that are difficult for
him, shoveling snow, cutting grass. I had not asked for much as dad
really still feels the way he did when he came home but now he is 85. I
am appauled and ashamed by the Organization. Dad and mom make a
miserable $100.00 per month to much income to qualify for any
assistance. It is beyond my comprehension how a Veterans yearly income
has anything to do with the gift they gave. They are still Veterans!
I am affraid I have not much regard for government. Sorry for that.

I will print this email out and do my best to send the added information
you mention. My mom still has dad's "paperwork".

Thank You so Very Much

Gentlemen, we do good work.
