Overall Experience   
very inspiring to do more work for our vets

I thought that it was an awesome experience and I would defanitely do it again. I love working outside and doing that really showed me that so many people care and would do anything for their country. The agency was very organized and very appreciative of my work and couldn't thank me enough, (very polite). posted by abbeygraves on May 31, 2008
