For Veteran's Day, I'll share this unique opportunity I had to sit down with Sam Robertson who is 102 years old, and hear about some of his experiences in World War II. It's amazing that you can still find him almost every morning at the Robertson Mule Company Building, a destination to which he still insists on driving himself (despite the chagrin of his family!) You are most welcome to stop in and visit and hear some of his stories yourself. Hear his story below...
Reading the post made me think about how much wisdom older people carry and how brave they were in tough times. It reminded me of visiting my grandparents and listening to their stories about school and childhood that felt so different from life now. I used affordable healthcare assignment writing services in the UK once when studying ageing and care topics, and it helped me understand how important respectful support is for older adults. It shows that learning from elders can teach us both history and empathy.
