Back at the SL Veteran's Center. This is one of the ladies who supports the Vet's Center.
Note the small dog to her left and the ball in her right hand. You guessed it!
In SL, she will throw the ball and the dog will chase and retrieve the ball.
Henry and Vic have just returned to the Veteran's Center from a exhausting trip visiting the USS Helena CA-75
The visit to the USS Helena CA-75 tired Vic, so he stopped at the Vet's outside bar for a cool iced tea.
Note Vic's uniform. In real life he was a Radioman while serving on the USS Helena CA-75.
He will soon change the I.C. Electrician rate.
