[Vision2020] Vet to Farmer Program

[Rosemary Huskey]

I often watch a PBS show called Growing a Greener World.  This week featured
a new program for returning veterans that is absolutely fabulous.  It was
begun by a vet who was recovering from wounds and PTSD issues and
reminiscing a couple of years ago about the how happy he was as a child
growing up on a farm.  That insight encouraged him to start a small fruit
and vegetable farm in Florida for returning veterans who needed a supportive
and understanding work environment - as he himself did.  Growing things help
to repairs souls, bodies and minds.  I urge all of you to check it out here:

It makes me wonder if something like this could happen here.
