My husband is a Vietnam veteran and has been on A6N for the past eight months. I visit my husband daily and during my visit, I have observed John Nightingal administering medication and comforting my husband he is very good at what he does. He always explains to me what he is giving my husband and why that truly make me feel secure in knowing he is in good hands. John is very respectful and serious about his work when he sees something isn't right with a patient he will report the issue so it can be fixed. Passionate is the word for John, he is quiet but treats every veteran in the CLC with respect and dignity. He has a kind heart and knows his job. One day John made a statement to me that stood out John said, "He treats all his veterans the way he would want to be treated if he was in their position." John with his passion for our veterans is an asset for the CLC A6N.
