Everyone should watch this. It has something for everyone. You are either the bent spring or know someone who is. :D

I loved it..
I would have loved it better if those kids were wearing dust masks.

Lightnin, some of them were.

In the video, we didn't see much of the kids working on wood, just showing off their work. They wouldn't need the dust masks for that.

I was impressed, when the VA contacted him, not the other way around. I'd love to try to support a group like that! (Makes me think the VA may FINALLY be doing something right!)

Eric Hollenbeck thinks he is a coil spring that still has a little bend. NO WAY!!!

None of us are perfect, Eric! Several of the very best people I've had the privilege of knowing didn't quite fit

This guy has his stuff together! Here's hoping the V.A. get many to spend time in his shop!

I'm very glad you posted this. I feel a bit like him, OK a lot like him but he put it into words much better then I could have.

I'm passing this on to my family and hope they enjoy it as well. I strong message that they too can pass on. It seem to be a good one for Father's Day.
