Veterans Bridge

sion of “care” from Family, Community and Friends that can be found. For instance, a special love note from Grandma, or a Rabbit's Foot from a favorite cousin, or a “thank you” card from a high school friend. These are some of the examples of “touch” that can make a world of difference to the soldier. Continual communication from the soldiers Family is our trademark. Veterans Bridge will make the difference for all Active Duty Soldiers. What about the soldier's boot camp graduation? We will help the parents of the soldier to attend the graduation ceremony. It will be so nice when the soldier looks into the bleachers and sees his/her parents, brothers, or sisters. Therefore, Veterans Bridge Solutions is a manifestation of this quote by Theodore Roosevelt: “It is not often that a man can make opportunities for himself. But he can put himself in such shape that when or if the opportunities come he is ready.” We will help the new soldier become ready for both the military and life. With your help this quote will be a reality. Help us make the civilian’s “1st Touch” the best touch of his/her life. "Welcome Back"

The transition of the soldier into civilian life is crucial. This soldier who has risked his/her life, sacrificed the needs of their Family and neglected themselves for their country deserves the best welcoming we can produce. We believe the soldier must be properly welcomed home. Veterans Bridge Solutions has produced a great system called “Welcome Back”. For instance, maybe there should be a job fair on behalf of the soldier, or maybe a host of family members waiting to greet him/her, or maybe a child that has never met his Father is seen by the returning soldier for the first time. These are some of the possibilities of the Veterans Bridge “welcome back” program. To the soldier, this experience will make a world of difference. Imagine when this soldier comes home and everyone that they cherish are waiting to celebrate and “welcome” him/her the way they should be welcomed. Veterans Bridge will make this event a special life time experience. What about the soldier getting a job? We will have a selection of companies waiting at this event for the soldier. It will be so nice when the soldier has more job opportunities than he/she imagined. Therefore, Veterans Bridge Solutions will be a manifestation of this quote by Jean Vanier: “One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn't as individuals. When we pool our strength and share the work and responsibility, we can welcome many people, even those in deep distress, and perhaps help them find self-confidence and inner healing.” We will help the returning soldier become ready for their new life. With your help, this quote will be a reality for our soldiers. Help us make the soldier's “welcome back” event the best memory of their life.
