I received a touching note from Carri Lelievre-Heitz of Salinas. She was so moved by the stories her cousin —Chris Lelievre-Moag from Hollister — told regarding her experiences while visiting veterans at the hospital in the Veteran’s Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System that she wanted to share.Chris Lelievre-Moag has joined her brother-in-law James Serasio, a member of the Patriot Guards Motorcycle Club, for their annual motorcycle rides to the hospital.
