Veterans volunteer to help seniors stay in their homes
Army-Navy Veterans: “It turns into a friendship”
Ron Burge, a retired Army Veteran, says that a motto that held true during his years of military service applies to his volunteer work with senior Veterans in the Colorado Springs area.
“It was ‘Never leave a man down in the field of battle.’ Our seniors now are facing a new battlefield – it’s called isolation.”
Burge is one of the volunteers across the country who are helping Veterans in their homes. This requires flexibility and creativity during the coronavirus pandemic. The program Burge works with is Silver Key Senior Services, which administers the VA Choose Home initiative at the VA pilot site in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
