Empowering Your Community

Saturday, November 08, 2008 18:21 | Daniel Boothe

I like to think everything happens for a reason, and if it doesn’t then I just got lucky.

I happened to come across the Southwest Veterans’ Business Resource Center after the opening Nov. 1 while covering it as an article for Camp Pendleton’s base newspaper. I thought nothing of it until actually seeing everything the center had to offer first hand. I was amazed.

The center offers everything you might need to accomplish the goals you have set in your life. It has the potential to offer communities across the nation the oppurtunity to give veterans’ the support they need and deserve to succeed.

      If we, as the community and fellow veterans, never take the time and effort to reach out then who will. Each and every veteran came into the service from a family and community they wanted to serve and protect. Now as nation and local community, we must return the service and support. We once gave up our sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters to keep this nation free, and to those who made that sacrifice we owe that service and support.

        Sadly our heros precious blood must still be shed to insure that our founding father's vision for this great country goes on. We owe it all to those who have responded to the call to serve & protect. I know SVBRC will be the framework for so many VETS to use as they lay out their future paths.

    There is a movement in Orange County, albeit it is slow. Veterans who were forgotten, who wished to forget are beginning to ensure our new Vets are not forgotten. Yes, it will require ALL to participate, to come together, no matter the branch of service. There is currently a small group, which is growing in recognition. Colloborating together to respond to the needs of our soldiers, their dependants and our Veterans. They are holding town hall meetings to identify programs, eliminate redundancy, implement new programs to meet the needs experienced in this new era. I applaud the creation of this center and its mission. It is a single, yet valuable step in the direction to help assure our soldiers have support in transitioning back into the civilian world. According to Sec. of Defense Thomas Hall, there are over 630,000 Reserve soldier in the USA, who also respond with multiple tours,in this War on Terrorism; with expectations of their continued use as a primary military force for cost effectiveness. These citizen-soldiers are yet another group sorely impacted, with their civilian lives disrupted and often shattered. These centers will assist in giving another chance to re-establish themselves.

      I'm glad that at least now there is people trying to find ways to help veterans, after their 15 moths or 18 months deployment, I know it is hard for a lot of people to get back into their normal life before theif long deployment. Many people don't know of benefits available to Vets because they are not promoted, and because of lack of adknowledge. I do know a few of my benefetis but not enough to guide every single vet accoding to their necesities. I;m glad that there is a place in the web like this one, where you get to know the benefits or programs available to Vets.

    I also happened to come across the SWVBRC during November 2008 after reading the Fallbrook Newspaper article. Thank you for spending the time to show me the basics of the programs there.

DOD Welcome home-small.jpg A welcoming home for our Troops.

Welcoming home our men and women doesn't end after the crowd disperses, it MUST continue on for the life of the Veteran! They've served us, now we will serve them with programs that work so they reintegrate into society.

We are a national public benefit nonprofit organization that educates American Communities about best practices to serve Veterans.  We honor their service by empowering Veterans to apply their training and skills to successfully transition to productive careers and enterprises.

We provide free vocational training 24/7 to all of our members through our website, in addition to local events.  We believe the tenet that American Communities are the ultimate beneficiaries when Veterans claim their benefits and invest in productive endeavors.

The SWVBRC enlists the support of members of local Communities like you to increase Veteran awareness of the value of obtaining a VA card and receiving earned benefits.

Sponsorships, donations, volunteers and support from communities like yours enable us to reach out to Veterans and empower them to transition back into successful, productive enterprises that ultimately benefit all Americans and support future generations.

The Internal Revenue Service has determined that Southwest Veterans' Business Resource Center, Inc. is an organization exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. A donation to SWVBRC, Inc. is deductible to the extent permitted under law.
