Photos That Provide Our Daily Dose of Happiness

Living with dementia can be a challenging and often disorienting experience, but for one man, a group of unexpected heroes stepped up to make his days a little brighter. The photo shows a Lieutenant Colonel from the same squadron as the man, who suffers from dementia and believes he needs to go back to Vietnam.

The Lieutenant Colonel has agreed to come and tell him that he doesn’t need to return. Perhaps the Lieutenant Colonel regaled the man with stories from the military, or maybe they shared a joke or two to lighten the mood. Whatever the case may be, the photo is a beautiful example of the ways in which we can support one another, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
