Hiking is one of the favorite recreational activities for my family and me. The scenic vistas and the peace of the trail are always refreshing. A few years ago, we ventured to the Redwood Forest and hiked amongst the giants of the forest. I marveled at the size of the redwood trees as they stretched toward the sky. You cannot help but feel that you are amid greatness.
In 2013, I had the opportunity to become the medical director of the Bennion Veterans Home in Payson and continue to serve in that capacity. The veterans home is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility for veterans and spouses of veterans.
There is a similar feeling of inspiration as I care for the veterans there. These veterans have been and continue to be heroes to freedom.
Many have visible signs of their sacrifice made in service to others. I am among giants as I walk those halls. I appreciate the chance to work with the veterans and their families. Their service and dedication inspire me.
