Like many other young men and women, Robert Aguilar, Jr. became a U.S. Marine because he wanted to serve his country.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always had a sense of duty and a desire to serve,\u201d said Aguilar.<\/p>\n
Now that Robert has left the military, he\u2019s found a new way to serve \u2013 as a Lion. When Robert was invited to join the Seal Beach Lions Club in Seal Beach, California, he saw it as an opportunity to do some good in the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I really appreciate about Lions is being around so many people who are active in the community and who like to have a good time,\u201d said Aguilar. \u201cWhen there\u2019s a sign-up sheet, everyone raises their hands. Everyone is eager to help. I\u2019ve been in situations where you have to beg people to help, but not here.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Robert has seen the can-do attitude of his fellow Lions. Recently, the Seal Beach Lions Club was hosting a car-show fundraiser when strong winds knocked down their booth in the middle of the night, but Lions quickly responded by rebuilding it before dawn to make sure the event was a success.<\/p>\n Although Robert hasn\u2019t been a Lion for long, he has seen enough to know that he\u2019s found the right place for himself, and for other veterans who want to get involved in their community.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Lions is a great fit for veterans who have a sense of duty and a desire to serve. It\u2019s not only a humanitarian group, it\u2019s a social group,\u201d said Aguilar. \u201cI would recommend Lions clubs to any veterans who want to be part of something special when they return home.\u201d<\/p>\n Don\u2019t wait\u2026invite a veteran to join your club today!<\/p>\n
