First Entry To My Blog

Wednesday, March 04, 2009 09:46 | Deleted user
Wow, what a journey this already is and feels like it is going to be. Let me explain. Just a few short days ago (Tues., Feb. 24, 2009) I was sitting in one of my favorite spots in Fallbrook, a coffee house called Cafee Primo. It was mid-morning, the place was hoping with people---I don't know why the place was so busy on that day---in spite of that I was lost in my own thoughts---dwelling on some composition strategies I had just learned, when, upon looking up from my book, I saw Sam---a newly made friend I had made recently in this town that I just moved to a little over three months ago. We shot the breeze for a while and while chatting, he mentioned the Veteran's Resource Center. Being a veteran I asked what the Center was all about. He said that the center was right across the street, that if I wanted to come and visit the place, he would call Albert--the person responsible for its appearance here in Fallbrook. He got Albert on the phone and handed the phone to me---I liked what he explained to me over the phone and so I made an appointment to meet up with him the next day, at which time he would explain what was going on---and if I liked what I heard and wanted to become a part of it, I could arrange to do so immediately.

      Thank you, Mr. Backus. This is the first time I have ever written anything on a blog---and you are the first person to ever make a comment to something I wrote online!!! So, for me, the journey has begun---in regards to writing---to expressing myself in public as to my true inner beliefs and my vassssstttt number of experiences---and also of my reading of other's blogs, including yours!! Soon I will write about my thoughts and memories regarding the Orietation. Have a good day!

    I know I am not the first and hopefully not the last to welsome you with open arms to an organization that truly cares and is devoted to offering support unseen by most. Because you live so close I am sure our paths will cross and am excited to meet with you.

    Hello James, This is a little late in coming and for that I am sorry (no excuses). Welcome aboard and congratulations for taking the step into blogging. In reading your beginning, I just have to believe that things happen for a reason. You were in that coffee shop that day at that time for a reason. Best of luck and look forward to hearing the rest of your story. Laurel

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.
