Val has gathered amazing stories of adversity, resilience, courage, dedication, and service from people who served in wartime. Veterans of World War II are increasingly rare. If you and your people could use encouragement, and support for dealing with adversity, (and who doesn’t these days?), I would say Val’s your Gal, and you should get in touch.
