Most Recent Reflection
View all 13 ReflectionsCorporal Thomas Martin Hanson built a rec room onto his house for a safe place for the neighborhood kids to go. His wife Karen, would set up crayons and coloring books in the kitchen so the kids had a place they could talk about their problems. I was one of those kids. His passing deeply sadden me, and I get a teary eye when I think of that time. I will always be grateful for the kindness they showed me.
