A Short Story
This camp had a special -- and central -- place in my childhood. All year around Amputee Veteran's could relax and dance and be free without anyone staring or looking away. As children those of us who were able helped with the swimming program for children with disabilities. I will never forget a ferocious thunderstorm that forced us inside, there I was with a young woman who was wheelchair bound from Cerebral Palsy and was deaf. She was frightened. Again and again she spelled into my hand with American Sign Language telling me that she was scared. She showed me each letter so I would know what she was telling me. A piece of me grew up -- and blossomed out -- that day like nothing else in my life could have. My Uncle Joe, an Amputee Veteran from WWII was one of the founders. There is never a time when Amvets should not get what they need to prosper, but now, as so many people are drenched in war, is such an important time to open this cam up again, which my cousin -- is son -- has helped to do. Please spread the word about it, and donate if you can.
