 By fulfilling this unusual request, Rebecca and Kathy turned an ordinary interaction into an extraordinary moment of kindness.
I would like to recognize Rebecca and Kathy for going above and beyond in their care for a veteran patient, demonstrating extraordinary compassion and commitment.  After caring for the vet, they personally escorted him to his vehicle.

As they assisted him, the veteran made a unique request, saying, "Can you ladies please give me a push?  My car doesn't have reverse."  Instead of deferring the request to others or calling VA police for assistance, Rebecca and Kathy took it upon themselves to help.  They rolled up their sleeves, braved the physical task, and pushed the vehicle out of the parking space, showing true dedication to serving our veteran population.

This action exemplifies their selflessness, respect, and commitment to honoring our veterans.  By fulfilling this unusual request, Rebecca and Kathy turned an ordinary interaction into an extraordinary moment of kindness.  Their actions deserve recognition and reflect the highest standards of nursing care and compassion.
