VOLUNTEER IN THE SPOTLIGHT:

Art Vazquez, USAA Golden Eagle Club

While volunteering at the Fisher Houses and checking out the plaques, I was impressed that Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher dedicated their own money to the construction of comfort homes to allow families of hospitalized military personnel to stay free of charge to provide the support their loved ones need, when they need it most. I felt proud when I saw USAA had donated to local Fisher Houses to construct and remodel them. I also read that Mr. Fisher was instrumental in saving a ship, the USS Intrepid, from the scrapyard. That ship is important in my family. My late father-inlaw was a Gunner’s Mate who was very proud to have served on the USS Intrepid in the Pacific during World War II. As you can tell I am proud of our military and very grateful for what they do for all of us. I will always do what I can to support them.” -
