Suicide, Homelessness, Hunger On The Rise: Summertime Giving For Veterans Made Easy!

PRLog (Press Release) - Jul 08, 2010 -
Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York--Suicide, homelessness, hunger are on the rise in our Veteran community. The first to be hit and devastated during harsh economic times are often those that were the first to serve and now are the last to be served…The American Veteran!

America is overly generous when it comes to the causes of saving people from around the world while our veterans die daily from lack, lack of the same care and compassion showered upon, yes people trying to kill Americans!

We know that times are difficult for most and the summer usually brings a slow down in giving.  We are asking you, this summer to ‘dare~2~care’ with a $5 dollar Tax-Deductible donation, equal to half the price of a pack of cigarettes in New York State!
