There’s Much Heart In Manassas Park

Sometimes you get to meet  a family that that has paid a terrible price for their patriotism and you want to somehow reach out, but you feel awkward. That’s how I first felt when I went to visit Joe Briseno and his son Jay, one of the most severely wounded veterans of the Iraq War. Joe is a veteran too, but his mission for the past several years has been to assure the best 24/7 care for his hero son. It’s been tough for the Briseno family, but they exude love and take an ISO 9000 approach to Jay’s nursing care.  Joe is such an expert now that he’s developed a plan with his family to build the first specialized nursing service for other severely disabled veterans. I plan to  do what it takes to help Joe and to keep experiencing the broad smiles and determined attitudes of the Brisneo family.
