Veterans and Suicide: We Must Overcome

Posted by Anonymous

Information

Please take the time to view an important message about veterans from Vets Prevail. It is well worth your time! It's a brief YouTube video about the consequences faced by Veterans who do not receive the support they deserve after returning from deployment. If you're unsure about the gravity of the issue, consider this fact: on average, 18 Veterans commit suicide in America every day. The message is simple, the need is significant. Please share this link with others if you are so inclined.

Soulsville rising in South Memphis
Backers hope $11.5 million project revitalizes neighborhood

Saturday, August 15, 2009
Drive down Mississippi Boulevard in South Memphis and you'll see overgrown lots with discarded tires. Turn onto a side street and you might see a liquor store with an old sign for Gordon's Gin.
But keep going and you'll pass the neatly groomed campus of LeMoyne-Owen College and the new mixed-income College Park residential community. And you may see a construction site near the college campus that could bring more jobs and commerce to the area.

"Hefty tax rebate for any franchise fees"

Information

PEORIA — Thomas Hofer's all for a proposed measure pending in Congress that would give veterans a hefty tax rebate for any franchise fees - his company already does it.
Hofer, himself a retired Vietnam-era Naval pilot, said his company Spring-Green offers veterans $15,000 to help with fees associated with starting up a new franchise of his lawn-care company.
"We look at this as a reward for military people who would be interested in our franchise," said Spring-Green's CEO. "In the last three years or so, 30 to 40 percent have been military orientated."
