During the Yarbo Roadshow, we traveled to Gettysburg to meet Mr. Glen Silva, a U.S. Marine infantryman who served his country for 24 years.
After being seriously wounded in combat, Glen has spent years adapting to a new reality. What began as a simple search — “Will anybody help me mow my lawn?” — led him to iWantToMowYourLawn and eventually to the Yarbo Roadshow.
Together, we helped take one burden off his shoulders. But the most powerful moment came before we left, when Glen shared that he had decided to name his Yarbo Yong (永) — a Chinese word meaning “enduring”.
“After everything life has thrown at me, I wanted the name to represent perseverance.”
This film isn't just about mowing a lawn. It's about resilience, dignity, and the small acts of kindness that remind us we're connected to one another.
Thank you, Glen, for your service, your strength, and for allowing us to be part of your story.
Less Mowing. More Connecting. 💙
