We hope everyone had a great Mother's Day and remained safe in the late afternoon storms. As of this writing, Monday, we are still out of power at Thaxton. We are so thankful for the community shelters, which many of our local residents use on a regular basis. Mr. Victor J. DaCosta, a U.S. Army Vietnam veteran, donated a book, The Timeline of the Vietnam War (2008), by Kevin Dougherty and Jason Stewart and published by Thunder Bay Press San Diego, California. This book gives comprehensive narrative and photographs from the events leading up to U.S. involvement to the Fall of Saigon and final removal of our troops. We appreciate this addition to our Veterans' Room.
