They connected her with someone who cleared the plumbing that same day.

A Riverside Senior's Christmas Wish: Non-Skid socks, a Warm Robe, Someone Who Remembered

Jennifer Lesher still thinks about the veteran with the cats. He had no family, and he spent most of his days inside his apartment with them for company. So when Lesher's team came by, they brought a stack of festively wrapped presents. They set up a small Christmas tree in his living room and decorated it, and they didn't forget a few treats for the cats. It was, he told them afterward, one of the best Christmases he'd had in a long time, not only because someone had thought of him but because someone had thought of his cats, too.

Remembering Ysmael Villegas, Riverside County’s First Medal of Honor Recipient

This Veterans Day, let’s remember Riverside County’s first Medal of Honor recipient, Ysmael Villegas. Staff Sgt. Villegas showed extraordinary courage during the Battle of Luzon in the Philippines, a crucial battle in the Pacific theater of World War II. On March 20, 1945, Villegas took out a series of Japanese entrenchments in the midst of a firefight on the Villa Verde Trail, a key route through the Caraballo Mountains, a range which helped the occupying Japanese maintain control over the island. Villegas died that day while storming the sixth and final Japanese stronghold. His compatriots rallied to overcome the Japanese forces that day and would soon take control of Luzon. Later that year, President Harry Truman awarded Villegas the Medal of Honor posthumously.
