I deeply appreciate Helen's varied philanthropic endeavors on behalf of so many charities. As I understand, she's a staunch supporter of the aging survivors among "The Greatest Generation," and my deceased father--were he alive today--would certainly offer Helen his broad hand in heartfelt gratitude for her effort in this regard. Indeed on the day that Helen was born in July of 1945, my father was serving out his military enlistment on the island of Okinawa, where U.S. forces had earlier completed a mammoth amphibious operation that saw the greatest degree of bloodletting in American military history. Women like Helen occupied a special place in my dad's heart to the day he died--and always for good reason. With that in mind, here's a very happy wish as your birthday approaches, Helen.
