I was deeply touched by David Hastings’ story “Veterans find old friendships, new way forward in Sierra trip” (Nov. 30, Everybody Has a Story, The Columbian). It has been a long time since an article made me have tears.
Thanks to Hastings for writing it, and to The Columbian for having this feature that allows people to submit their stories.
