Description
A member of VFW Alessandro Post 8547 provided transportation and assistance to an elderly veteran who needed his California driver's license re-issued. The veteran had no reliable means of transportation to the DMV and requested help from the Post. The member picked the veteran up at his residence drove him to the DMV office and remained with him throughout the visit assisting as needed with paperwork and the check-in process. The license was successfully re-issued with a temporary license issued until the permanent driver's license is received via mail. The veteran's driving privileges were restored preserving his independence and his ability to attend medical appointments obtain groceries and other necessities and remain active in the community.
