When Edmond was asked what he thought of all the items AFIL brought for his home, he said, “First words that come to mind are “this is heaven”, thank you so much for everything. I’m not sure why you all are helping me but I appreciate it” We told him the community donated items to assist veterans like him because they appreciate his service, he said, “Wow, really? I am glad I live here in this great community.”
