"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
