Heroes of WWII Episode 4 – Diane Hight with Forever Young Veterans, “Poor is the Nation that has no heroes, but shameful is the Nation that has them and forgets” ~ Unknown

Wow!  That is the best way I know how to start this entry.  When the idea came to me about putting together something to honor our veterans, I had no idea what a treat I was in for.  Not knowing if there were any WWII vets in the area, I figured it was a long shot, but man am I glad I took that shot.

 

The two veterans I was able to interview had unique stories that should both be in a movie theater somewhere.  I would have been happy with that, but as it turns out, there was one more surprise waiting for me.  I was put in contact with Mrs. Diane Hight that is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit, Forever Young Veterans, which is based in Collierville, TN.  

 

When I did my research and found out that she runs a nationally known organization, has been interviewed thousands of times, by name brand reporters and a renowned author, I never thought I would have an opportunity to interview her.  However, much to my surprise she did accept an invitation and boy am I glad she did!  Her story of how she had this dream put into motion and how it has grown since 2006 will inspire you to get off that sofa and move on your dreams with a purpose.  Her hardships as a child led her down a path that has had such an amazing impact on so many deserving vets.  Mrs. Hight said it best, “Take your mess and make it your message.”  Trust me, you need to hear her message!
