This past Father’s Day, Rick Mantei dedicated his time to visiting fathers in hospice care who are estranged from their children, bringing comfort and companionship to those in need. Among the individuals he visited was James Hearn, a 90-year-old WWII veteran. The visit was marked by heartfelt conversations and a poignant reflection on Mr. Hearn’s service to the country, highlighted by photos from his time in the military.

Rick’s compassionate gesture underscored the importance of honoring and remembering the contributions and sacrifices of our veterans, especially those who may feel forgotten.
