Mom's Choice Awards 2020 Gold Award Recipient: Remembering With The Heart speaks to what has become a part of my life throughout the years-volunteering. While writing and researching my sixth book, I was overwhelmingly reminded of the merit, the true value, and the generosity of spirit that a volunteer can bring to any given set of circumstances. The main characters present in Remembering With The Heart, Stories by America's Finest, are veterans that reside at The Armed Forces Retirement Home, Washington, D.C. Their years of service to our country has played an integral part of both their personal and professional lives. The prolific storytelling in their book, Remembering With The Heart, exemplifies the learning, the compassion, and the heartfelt experiences that we all become a part of, as we journey through our very own lives.

"I am deeply impressed with the subject, the scope, and the results of Glenna Orr's book, Remembering With The Heart, Stories by America's Finest.
