Not to be missed!


A friend of mine sent me a link to an amazing rendition of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". It is a presentation recorded and enhanced by a father of one of the students you will hear performing. It will remind you what being an american is all about. Enjoy the link below!

Mission Statement
The primary mission of Invest in America’s Veterans Foundation is to serve our Iraq-Afghanistan Veterans by giving them a “Head Start” in getting back in to the mainstream with the least resistance from the environment. The Veterans Foundation will offer them a Roundtable format for them to discuss their needs and a venue to provide counseling in the primary areas of life. The Veterans Foundation will create jobs when feasible and will place Veterans into jobs when achievable. We will work hand and hand with other Veterans’ organizations from every state to help to relocate Veterans and their families to the Louisiana "Go Zone"or Florida if they have the desire to do so.

We believe that Veterans helping Veterans is a path to success. We will enlist Veterans from every generation to join us in this Campaign. Sharing your knowledge and experience will be critical to their rehabilitation.

Our commitment is to serve with Veterans from any generation. We offer a Roundtable of experts for all Veterans to sit with if they need assistance on housing, financial planning, education and business opportunities as well as Christian counseling of a variety of denominations.

We will help to preserve the memories of the Heroes of all wars.

God Bless our troops
