[@domino4445]

Yes, it’s great to see a vet taken care of... but beyond that big kudos to the school district who has “construction technology” courses for high school students! Trade classes are going away all over the country as more kids are pushed into college (whether college is a good fit for them or not). Young people who aren’t college bound can be successful too! (and it sounds like the kids not only learned career skills, but how great it feels to help others).
