Can you help a Veteran move a few items?

A WWII Veteran, Mr. Findlay, has been transferred from a nursing home that lost its VA contract. He has Alzheimers, dementia, and leukemia, and it is nice for him to have familiar things around. He is a very enjoyable person, I am told. He has some larger furniture that they couldn't move: Wooden Drawer Cabinet - 23 inches wide, 4 feet high Chest of Drawers - about two feet wide, 3 feet high One overstuffed chair with hassock One large picture of great sentimental value, 18 inches wide, two feet high. He was at Garden Terrace in Aurora, 303-750-8418 at 1600 Potomac. John Morino who is the executive director at that location, and Meridith in admissions, both know he hasn't gotten all this things yet. He was moved to Windsor Health Care nursing home, 970-686-7474, 710 3rd Street, Windsor CO 80550. Loretta is his caretaker at Windsor. VA is aware that they still haven't gotten his furniture. The UVC Secretary has a call in to the VA parties involved, but if you have the means to transport these things, please call Jenn at 720-271-1426 or email at uvccolorado@gmail.com, or call the numbers above to contact the facilities directly.

American Flag doormat??

Since this is not official Veteran news, I'm not posting it to the blast, but this is worth your consideration. This is not a statement of UVC's position, it was simply shared with us. Here is a link to Snopes, so you can see the story, but it is about an American Flag on a door mat.
