Veterans are all urged to promote and participate in this effort. A select few of our finest have taken out personal loans to get this project off the ground with the hope their debt obligation will be eventually met by their fellow Vets. With over 3100 veterans in Door County, this should be a mission we can accomplish without casualties.

We all know of the stress the Iraq war is placing on our country specifically our National Guard, Coast Guard, and active military. As our solders deploy veterans will be needed to stand guard and mission ready to respond when our public sector professionals are overwhelmed or the scope of a crisis exceeds their ability to effectively respond.
