A little over a year ago I spotted a posting on a forum where a Vet was asking about trains to help get another Iraq veteran friend of his started in the hobby. This other gentleman was also severely handicapped, and suffered from some depression. I sent them off a pack of older stuff I had,...trains, track, turnouts etc. I was really happy knowing I was going to contribute to his well being.
Unfortunately he committed suicide before the pkg arrived. I told the other vet to go ahead and keep it, perhaps he would find another vet to help, or give it to.
Might be a consideration,...donate to a vet?
