A local Vietnam veteran, although not in need of food, visited The Salvation Army&#8217;s service site to express his gratitude. Major Brenda Shafer had the opportunity to speak with him, offer a prayer, and share a moment of connection. Major Shafer recounted, \u201cHe prayed that God would protect him and was excited to hear The Salvation Army had come back. He asked for a picture after we prayed and said&nbsp;it always makes him feel good to see The Salvation Army come in to help after storms.&#8221;<\/p><p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;
