Last night, Ben and I attended the Forever Young Gala and Auction to raise money to send WWII veterans to see the memorial honoring their service in Washington, D.C. This organization is very dear to my mother, and she has been raising money ever since she went on the very first trip with my grandfather, Clyde Thomas May, Sr. in the fall of 2009. It was so special to see all of the men that have served for our country come together and to see their wishes fulfilled by the Forever Young Organization, started by Diane Hight and her husband Greg. We had such a fun time visiting family and friends at the event, all while enjoying a special dinner and raising money to help send two more groups to D.C. this fall! There was even a swing band there to top off the evening! We had a blast!
