I hope these women that he has helped will pay him back by giving him a cooked meal especially during the holidays when widows and widowers feel the loneliest.

By the twinkle in his eye at the end, you can tell that’s a man at peace with the demons and the grief. So happy for him.

If I pass before my husband, I pray he finds a similar path. Between the horrific abuse he suffered in his childhood and the time in the military he spent in combat, now 50 - 60 years later, his PTSD still causes him to suffer from nightmares and depression. He doesn't even want to admit he has PTSD. All I can do is love and support him.

25 years ago, it was hard to find someone to do small jobs around the house. I have a feeling it is even harder today to find someone who is willing to do these small jobs. May God continue to bless and protect Danny.

I was 9 months old when I lost my dad in the Vietnam War. It makes me feel good watching stories about our vets. Caring for others. And helping others in need.

What a kind man. As the wife of a frail man, I can tell you that I really miss my husband's ability to do all those small jobs around the house. This guy is a mensch.

Okay, this entire story is sweet, but his penchant for taking a photo to remember everyone he helped out is just next level wholesome.
