I'm involved in a new charity. Me and a couple fellow vets are
starting the New Terrain Foundation. We are incorporated and will have
our Non-Profit status confirmed in January.
Essentially, we help returning vets re-acclimate to civilian life. Our
troops are having a really hard time, folks. Over 25 of our servicemen
commit suicide every day. Stop and think about that for a moment. 25
a day. Every day. We need to arrest that.
Somewhere out there is a guy who’s been through hell. He’s come home
to a different country than the one he left so many years ago. Maybe his wife was
given a "great deal" on a loan from BofA while he was gone (Power of Attorney is
common under such circumstances). Then the payments skyrocketed. Fights ensued.
Forclosure, Bankruptcy and Divorce, all from 10,000 miles away. He's
lost a limb (the most common casualty in explosives-warfare). He’s
overwhelmed. He’s alone and he can’t see getting through the pain of
another day. While the banks were bailed out, our troops were left out.
This is not an uncommon story.
We give him the the inspiration to get through a day. Then a week. We give him the
skills and resources to become a productive part of society again. To have a sense of purpose.
Then he can pass on what we’ve given him, to others in the same situation.
Our troops are coming home and they need our help. And we need yours.
A lot of you talk about patriotism. Well there's talk and there's
doing something. This is an excellent chance to use your time in a way
that is even more patriotic than calling Liberals or Conservatives
names.
No matter where you are in the USA, you can help.
We don't want your money.
We don't want you to call other people and ask them for money.
You won't even need to leave your house.
There are no "catches", if you want to help, let us know your skills
and we'll figure out how you can help.
If you're interested in volunteering, let me know.
