Virginia Harvey accepts the award
from Post 227 Commander Richard White

On Tuesday evening, September 8, American Legion Post 227 in Shoreline awarded their 2015 Life Changer award to Virginia Harvey.

The purpose of the award is to recognize and honor a person who has made life better for others. Virginia has participated in USO trips and the Vets Art Show among other things.

Primarily though, she served as a volunteer at Veterans Hospital twice weekly for the past 15 years, traveling there by Seattle Transit.

In addition to delivering blood and other tasks, she has moved ailing veterans throughout the hospital in their wheelchairs. She certainly made life better for many ailing veterans.

Her award included a framed certificate and a $200 gift certificate to dine in the Sky City restaurant atop the Seattle Space Needle. The award was presented to Virginia by Post 227 Commander Richard White.
