#SeniorCorpsWorks: Senior Companion Vet Helps World War II Vet
(via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l403IKfCQ2M)
Steve Vradenburg, a Senior Companion volunteer with Senior Services of Snohomish County, has been paired with his client, Art in Seattle, Washington. Art is 94 years old and a World War II veteran who lost his sight and a limb during the Battle of Normandy in 1944. Yet, he still lives independently with the help of his Senior Companion volunteer Steve. Steve was a combat medic during the Vietnam War and received two Purple Hearts for his service. He helps Art continue to remain independent by grocery shopping, golfing, gardening, and participating in other activities together. Watch this video to see how this pair of veterans still learn things from each other and cherish the time they spend together.
