A weekly column on Fredericksburg.Today by Linda Clevenger, Organization Direct.
Last week, I had the pleasure to work with a local Veteran non-profit group to help someone in need. Their story touched my heart. He was injured by an IED while serving in the Army in Afghanistan. After being injured, the family made a quick move into our area to be near the Richmond VA Hospital, to get help for his severe brain trauma.
