Doug Bolton, the founder of the blog, Signs of Hope, which is at www.dailysignsofhope.com, has written a new book, “Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.” It will be reaching out the many military and veterans who may be battling anxiety, fear, depression, addictions, rejections, and the many other usual suspects. There are 22 military connected suicides every day. That is almost one every hour. Doug wants to help stop those statistics.

I just have been selected to be a board on a new nonprofit. It is called: http://www.victoryforveterns.org. I have thoroughly checked it out, and I feel it is a wonderful new help for veterans. Please go there and check it out. We aren’t able to take donations yet, but we will in about 30 days. That is how new we are.
You CAN like our page on Twitter at: @victoryvets. Please do that. It shows the world that we are for real, and the more that do, the more we will have donations when the time comes.
Victory for Veterans will be helping veterans with PTSD, anxiety, depression, fear, the homeless, and the many other usual suspects. We will be handing out monies to other charities as well. That will be about a Million dollars per charity for 50 million each year.
How will we get enough funds to do that. Can’t tell you just yet. (Because again we are not set up yet.) Keep close and check the posts here.
Veterans need our support. Some are homeless. This is a disgrace. They served our country and they put themselves in harms way. The least we can do is provide warmth, and shelter.
If you are a veteran who is struggling, please comment. I will personally find a way to help you.
There is always help for you 24/7 at: 1-800-273-8255
Remember:
You are never alone.
You are never forsaken.
You are never unloved.
And above all…never, ever, give up!
