Members of the Sarah Maples Chapter of DAR pay a visit to nursing homes to give retired vets a gift. We had 42 veterans this year and five of those were females. Mona was on her way to play games in the activity room which doubles as the dining room when we caught up to her. Mona was born and raised in Wisconsin. Ask how she wound up in Texas she said she came here to take care of a friend who was ill and then that friend died.. She told of her travels while she was in the service. She has been everywhere she says and loved every minute of it. (Courtesy Sarah Maples DAR)
