OLD SCHOOL AMERICAN: Show Your Support For The Troops..

Our brave men and women need our help, NOW! Everyday all across this nation, you can read a story about a soldier and or his family suffering because they are getting the help they deserve. Society and our elected officials argue back and fourth about what to do and who is to blame, while many active duty or veterans loose their hope, livelihood, or lives. Big Daddy Franks New Non-profit is called "The Invisible Wounds Association" (TIWA). Our group will support the troops, veterans, police, fire, rescue, and anyone who has experienced trauma. The TIWA will not only lobby for new laws, but we will have active programs to help those in their time of need. I received an email form Nadia McCaffery Gold Star Mother of Sgt Patrick McCaffery, shot 8 times, who was killed inaction on June 22, 2004, Balad, Iraq. Nadia has been doing support work since the tragic death of her son. She started the nation wide trend of Veterans Villages for the military and veterans. In a recent email she tells me of a Veteran by the name of Ramon Vasquez, recently retired veteran of 11yrs. from Army active duty. He served in Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Ramon was retired due to injuries from his time overseas. He is a humble man with a wife and two wonderful daughters. He met his wife, Felicia, in Fort Drum, New York in 2005 and is deeply in love. But since he has been out of the military because of injuries, they struggle to live month to month. The economy and his disability have hurt his ability to earn a decent wage. They are slowly losing everything in their life even with his wife being active Army Reserve for the next six years! We have a line of special guest and a sponsor, Jerry Andrews, who is donating ALL Proceeds from sales of his photos during the show to assist with our cause. He is involved with Koinonia is an Intentional Christian Community in southwest Georgia. http://www.journeyamerica.org/ and http://www.koinoniapartners.org/index.html
