Pager – A Tribute to Red Cross Volunteers by B.L. McGarr http://www.alightinthemirror.com/?p=75&cpage=1#comment-10 B.L.

I was a DAT volunteer in Phoenix for about 2 years until I started going back to school. It always amazed me how little appreciation was shown to the group of people I worked with, and since I wasn't serving right now, I wanted to show everyone a little bit of appreciation. People don't often realize how much money volunteers spend on equipment, on training, and just what it means to be a volunteer. I'm looking forward to finishing my degree program this summer, as it will allow me to return to the Red Cross while I take a break in studies. I wrote this from experience.

As a Red Cross volunteer, it really touched me. I'm interested in what led you to write this. Would you mind sharing? Thanks for the poem to us, Bradly.
