A2: Vets

By

Greensboro (N.C.) News-Record columnist Jeri Rowe profiles Melvin Kearney, a graduate of North Carolina’s A&T State University who’s now working at the Ann Arbor VA Medical Center in the Army Wounded Warrior Program: ”And as he helps them piece their lives back together, Kearney tells them about his hometown of Tarboro and the A&T degree on his office wall. Then, when he sees a soldier’s face buckle with emotion, he tells them this: ‘Thank you for what you’ve done. I was there. I understand.”” [Source]
