Veteran's Housing
Jan 28^th, 2013 at 8:39pm

Proud to say I have been selected by my company as part of the development team to build and manage permanent housing for homeless Vets in New Jersey and Massachusetts.

I'm offended that any veteran would be classified as "less fortunate" in this country. Now I have the opportunity to change that.

I'm glad to hear you are taking the project on. To many of our men come back home with injuries that aren't visible that make it so hard for them to function in society. Society then often wants to turn their backs on the ones who have paid such a very high price for us and doesn't want to do anything to meet those needs. From what I know of you I believe you will do them right, and as the father of two Marines, I'm grateful.
