As light rain falls outside the auditorium at the VA’s Sousley Complex, VA social worker James Moore taps lightly on a set of drums, waiting for veterans and their caregivers to join him for a round of wellness drumming. He’s one of two dozen or so people representing the VA and other organizations who’re there to help those who help veterans at home every day. Caregivers like Jody Carroll. She’s been married to Army vet Jim Carroll for 53 years.
“I was on a date with another boy. And he pulled up beside me and asked me to go with him and I thought he was crazy. And he said, ‘Will you at least give me let's give me your phone number?’ And as soon as I got home from that night he called me and I guess we've been inseparable ever since”
