Grandma’s Blessing

by Charlie Joe III

Charlie Joe III, a U.S. Marine veteran, recalls the traditional knowledge his grandmother instilled in him when he was young. Even after many years, he still considers his grandmother his best friend and considers all her teachings a blessing in his life. Now he wants to share his vaccine story as a way to pay forward the blessing his grandmother gave him and inform elders of his community about the importance of getting vaccinates.
