Wellsville, NY—Steve came from New Jersey, Toby’s from Indiana and Nick joined them from Detroit. Mike Blake was there for a while but he’s with his family right now. They share a small, green house in Wellsville with photos of friends killed in Iraq and nightmare-memories of a place where the flags on their arms were taken as targets. They live with injuries and problems but also with a sense of compassion so large that it could fill any house, pour into any conversation. Current Show Online:

Re: WELLSville Veterans Project: A Place for Healing
As many of you may already know, I am involved in fund raising for the United States Veterans Initiative. I am an employee of U.S. Vets as well.
For those of you not familiar, U.S. Vets is a 501(c)(3) non-profit committed to building a new life for our Soldiers now returning from the War on Terror currently going on in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as Desert Storm and the Wars that have gone on before. We currently house 2,100 Veterans every day and assist in removing their barriers to success.
I am asking you to help us out with a tax-deductible donation to U.S.Vets. It has been a difficult year financially for all of us, and I hope we can count on you for a generous donation of $100 or more. As always, any amount you can provide is greatly appreciated. Your donation will insure that we do not have to turn any Soldier away due to overcrowding of our facility.
I thank you for your time and consideration of this request. We look forward to whatever support you can provide. If you are able to donate privately, please also check for matching funds through your employer. Many companies have matching programs which you may not be aware of. If you require additional information on U.S.Vets, please contact me and I will be glad to provide it. You may also visit www.usvetsinc.org or contact us via phone at: 310-348-7600. You can donate online by visiting www.usvetsinc.org. Please make checks payable to U.S. Vets. You can also donate online at our website using your credit card.
Thank you for your consideration and generosity.
