America and its Veterans Need You Now!!!!



I don't believe anyone needs to be told there is an economic "problem" in America right now. Daily the news media adds more and more stories of downturns, economic unstability, foreclosures, falling stocks and rising unemployment. We can all feel sorry for ourselves and sit in a dark corner and cry - or we can become the Americans our forefathers wanted us to be when this great country was born!

One group that requires our attention is our returning military veterans. Many return to foreclosed homes, economic problems, lack of care for the disabled and no jobs. Invest in America's Veterans Foundation wants your support to make these problems disappear. The first solution needs to start with housing. SW Florida, for instance, has one of the highest foreclosure rates in America. Low prices, great mortgage programs for veterans and a large inventory of abandoned homes makes this the place and time to buy these homes. With assistance from investors, we can get these abandoned homes at great prices and allow veterans to have a lease-to-own contract if they cannot buy today.

The ripple effect? Abandoned homes have families living in them. Mortgages and lease agreements are written. Contractors need to hire painters, electricians, carpenters, etc. (which can also be returning veterans) to work on these homes to make repairs. Building supplies stores sales go up from contractors and home owner handymen. More people in homes, vandalism declines. Get the picture?!? - We helped re-build an American neighborhood!

What is the Veterans Foundation all about?




A team of specialists in their respective fields joined forces to help returning American military personnel. The Invest in America Veterans Foundation will be providing affordable housing, career planning, credit education, family and marriage counseling and other services as needed. We will be working with many agencies to help us reach our goals. For the next couple of weeks, I will be posting information as this program comes together. Brief bios of the organizers and their specialities will be featured here. We will be asking for donations to get the Veteran programs developed and organized.


Future posts will include stories about the families we hope to help. Progress reports on the seminars, classes and programs will be presented. Videos showing the construction or remodeling of facilities for our returning Military Veterans.


We ask the readers and subscribers to this blog to be charitable with your donations and if in the neighborhood, your volunteer help will always be welcome! They deserve our help since they have protected our rights and freedoms! If not for our Military Veterans, I would not have the freedom to post these messages!
