Thank a Veteran. Their stories are the fabric of this country. We met Pastor Max at Lotawata Creek this week. While walking into the restaurant he acknowledged Harry’s Marine cap, and said His Father was a Green Beret in Korea. He proudly took his phone out and showed off his Pop. ![]()

We also met these two ladies, both retired Army Veterans, currently in town with the US State Department for meetings. What a special moment to witness these three sharing their stories with one another. ![]()

Our mission this week was to secure supplies for our 101st mission by visiting the Scott Air Force Base Exchange. Employees Heather, Angel and Pam noticed our Chairman Emeritus Harry Hope’s Chosin Few jacket and asked if he was at the Chosin. While they get many active service members, they rarely get to Korean War Veterans who had fought at the Chosin Reservoir. They asked to take a picture, which they will be putting in their paper. The tootsie roll story was shared, along with tootsie rolls. They’d only heard the story and were honored having Harry in the store. Harry has been invited back to share his story with other visitors in the next few weeks. They’d also like to support the GSLHF mission with volunteers.
