Algologic strongly believes that persons in good health and free
of disabilities, have a moral responsibility to assist their less
fortunate brethren. Algologic offers free technical guidance and
assistance for those wishing to construct buildings which are
accessible for persons with motoring disabilities.

This story is about a soldier who was
finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his
parents from San Francisco.
"Mom and Dad, I'm coming
home, but
I've got a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring with me."
"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet
him."
"There's something you should know," the son continued, "he was hurt
pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land-mine and lost an
arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live
with us."
"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can
help him
find somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us. Forever."
"Son,"
said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such
a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to
live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I
think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find
a way to live on his own."
At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing
more from him.
A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco
police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were
told. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken
to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. Continue ? ...then click here...
