V.A. Hospital Christmas Party

Joe and I volunteered at the Annual V.A. Hospital Christmas Party in Westwood on December 2nd. We were asked by someone we met when we went and did the house build in Mexico earlier this year. I was asked to take pictures and put them on a dvd. This event was soo huge that I don't think I got as good of pictures as I was hoping for. There were soo many volunteers to help serve all the food. We started off serving salads but got promoted to the dessert section. I think we cut and served a million different pies for 5 hours straight!! We were soo tired by the end and soo sick of pies!! The Veteran's were given dinner, gifts and a ton of entertainment. There were magicians there from the Magic Castle and later that night there was a concert with Jim Belushi and the Sacred Hearts Band.



Look at the MILLIONS of pies we have to cut and serve!! Joe was such a trooper!!


I was so lucky to meet the actual lady that is in the famous picture of the sailor kissing the nurse in Times Square at the end of World War II. Her name is Edith Shain and she was introduced by Jason Alexander from Seinfeld. It was soo cute because all the older men that took pictures with her kept bending her down like in the picture and kissing her!!!

It was a really neat experience to see all these people who have fought for our country and be so happy to have this party in honor of them!

My favorite guy there was the one with the blue baseball hat tilted to the side of his head!!
