Giving back to a Vietnam Veteran

On Memorial Day, we went to Chickasaw to cut my mothers yard, and noticed this man in his yard trying to cut his grass with a sling blade!In this heat! On the way out a couple hours later, we noticed he was still there, getting nothing accomplished. So we went back and offered to cut his grass with our mower, for free. He couldn’t believe we weren’t charging him. I said “sir it’s too hot to be out here, and he replied “it was hotter in Vietnam, this is nothing! Come to find out he is a War Veteran and Marine Gunner! He was getting letters from Chickasaw, going to fine him for each day it wasn’t cut. He also has no vehicle and walks to the store. His roof leaks. So we are going to get him a mower, small cheap used truck, and have his roof repaired. It just made it our Memorial Day memorial! He said “I volunteered to serve my country and not looking for handouts “ , but this is our way of saying THANK YOU..... we will post pics and update when we get this done
