"Military Veterans know how dig in and get the job done. The work at home is much more valuable when we do it together and share the load.  You haven't lost touch with your fellow soldiers, you have a country filled with many that want to serve with you.  You are up to the task, join the outreach."    Jurene Mason, USAF Vet

This service is offered to all veterans, and military community by a Vietnam/Desert Storm Veteran.  Speaking as One Veteran to Another, thank you for serving in the military. Now lets help each other heal and continue to serve on our home front with integrity, honor and dedication.
