A coworker of mine peeked into my office just to say hi. She
knew I was working full-time and going to school full-time and asked how it was
coming along. We chatted for a bit and
talked about our plans for the future (retirement). She had retired and actually got bored and
came back to work. I hear that very
often. She mentioned that she volunteers for the Veteran’s hospital and told me
some incredible stories that some of our war heroes have shared with her. Some stories were sad and some so incredibly
humbling. She also mentioned that the
National Veteran’s Wheelchair Games needed volunteers for their annual Paralyzed
Veterans of America Event where veterans compete against each other in
particular sport categories. There are 18 different events. It happens June 21-
June 26 at different venues throughout Dallas. So many volunteers are still
needed.
I looked up the website and their Facebook page to review the
media and I was elated to see the media content was clean, noble, and
informative, motivating and emotional.
As I studied the site, I saw organized content signifying structure
and pride, the background was white, symbolizing purity and goodness and a
grand logo depicting strength and courage. The You Tube Video, link was also
engaging and informative. The music was compelling and motivating and gave you
the feeling of national pride. The
images of our veterans competing in wheel chairs demonstrated their undying
will to survive and live life to the fullest .I t was incredibly moving to see
such perseverance. I feel overwhelming
gratitude for their service and of course a desire to give back. I signed my whole family up! See you there, I hope!

ReplyDeleteNancy,
DeleteIt is nice for a change to see organized content which I agree is full of structure and pride. The background color can be tricky though, yes white symbolizes purity and goodness. However, White is not always representing purity and goodness, it can also represent a clean environment; In this case it helps the organize aspect of the website. I totally agree with the logo depicting strength and courage, even though the yellow tone really takes away from the logo in my opinion.
Great ad, thanks for sharing.
It is awesome to hear that there are still good websites out there. I liked your observations on the different images and layout of the website. What is intriguing to me is your mention of nobility in the site. That phrase comes with the meaning that a lot of media material nowadays is untrustworthy and has little morals.
