Guitars for Vets

What a heart warming assignment. Once a week Marc DeRuiter of Grand Rapids(featured in top photo) visits the Grand Rapids Veterans Home and gives guitar lessons. Every student who consistently shows is given a guitar to learn on. Greg Mulder, a U.S. Army veteran who lives in the home, (center photo), says the lessons are theraputic, giving him something to do with his time and thoughts. (Grand Rapids Press Photos)
