  • An incredible letter form a VET that I must share with you!

    My name is Mario Cruz and I am a returning OIF combat veteran.  I was in the Army for four years.  Two of them I served in Darmstadt Germany under the 92nd MP Company, 709th MP Battalion, 18th MP Brigade.  I was deployed to Iraq for 9 months serving under the 101st Airborne Air Assault Division Fort Campbell, KY.  Upon return I finish my duties in Fort Campbell, KY.  
     
              During the war it was very difficult mentally and physically.  There are many reasons why I say this, but only people who have been to war and been in combat can truly understand what I am saying.  From having close friends taken away, and loosing my mother during this process, I can say it has been a difficult time.  After the war, my wife, three children, and myself have really been struggling to get by.  P.T.S.D. has taken its toll on all of us.  
              
              Four years later, I can now say that things are looking better.  My family and myself have recently moved from Desert Hot Springs, CA to Groton, CT.  It has been a significant change for all of us.  I have enrolled in college, I have a steady job, and my children are in a great school system.  The only thing that was missing was a vehicle to get to all these places!
     
              I found a program on the internet called WORK VESSELS FOR VETS.     http://www.workvesselsforvets.orgI submitted an application explaining   a little about myself, my military service, and my situation, and they replied.  Now when I say they replied, they donated my family a car!  A really nice car too.  I’m crying right now.  They donated a car to my family and thanked me for my service.  They genuinely are a true passionate group of people who really helped me in a time of need.  It was a true miracle for myself and my family.  I personally would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Niekrash and Mr. Brown for putting this all together for me.  This program has made me see that there are people out there who really care about veterans.  I’m sorry I’m very emotional when I’m writing this.  I’ve just felt so alone in the world since I came back from the war and have had such difficulties but you guys really made me feel special, and I haven’t felt that way in a long time.  Thank you so, so much… because of  WORK VESSELS FOR VETS, I can go to college, I can really go to college now, and not have to struggle.  Thank you guys so much, it is truly a miracle from God.  
     
    Love is Life and Life is Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
