Veterans Days – Homes For Our Troops

by Jeffrey Bogert on November 11, 2009

 Remember The Fallen

“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother”

Today as we honor the brave men and women who are and have served this country I would like to make you aware of an organization that helps returning injured Veterans with a place to call there own. The group called “Homes For Our Troops”  ”build specially adapted homes for our severely injured veterans at no cost to the veterans we serve”. Yesterday in Hillsdale, NJ the project for Corporal Visnu Gonzalez came to and end and he was given the keys to his new home.

Today many more of our service people are returning from abroad with catastrophic injuries and need our help. As a realtor helping people in the Montclair and surrounding areas with their housing needs I can think of no better way to honor these men and women than to help out an organization such as this.  Over on Harvard Street there is a piece of land that could be perfect for one of these projects. While the subdivision of the property is controversial  there is probably no better way to quell the grumblings than to donate the land to this worthy cause. You can learn more about “Homes For Our Troops” at their website and see the projects here in NJ. If you are interested in starting a project or know of a veteran please let us know.

Thank You to all who have served.
