[Vision2020] Vet to Farmer Program

[Tom Hansen]

Over the next week or so I'll check with Moscow's local VFW.

I will also check in with the Commander and First Sergeant of the 126th Engineer Company, right there in Moscw.

However, I feel that we will have our best luck with DAV (Disabled American Veterans), of which I have been a lifetime member since my retirement in 1989.

Please keep reminding me, ok?

Seeya on the rebound, Moscow.

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:
