President Bush Makes Special Mention About Homes for Our Troops, a MA Based Charity, in Speech to Troops at Camp Pendleton

Homes for Our Troops, a Massachusetts based nonprofit charity singled out by President Bush as a charity who is making great strides in showing their support for our troops.

Camp Pendleton, CA (PRWEB) December 9, 2004 -- President Bush addresses the troops at Camp Pendleton in CA. He mentioned John Gonsalves and Homes for Our Troops in his speech while telling the troops about what their fellow Americans are doing to show support for their service and sacrifices. The President asked Americans to show their support and help out in any way they can by donating time, supplies and materials, and labor to the many charities listed on the new Department of Defense website americasupportsyou.mil. Homes for Our Troops has been invited to be involved in the America Supports You program by the Department of Defense.

In just 8 short months, Homes for Our Troops has become a well respected organization in the military circle as well as in the eyes of the American people. Thank you to all of our supporters.

The brainchild of contractor John Gonsalves, Homes for Our Troops was founded when John wanted to donate his time and building expertise to help with a project for a soldier and quickly realized that there was no organization in the USA to provide this type of assistance for our severely injured troops.

As the number of severely injured troops from our current wars continues to rise, Homes for Our Troops has been contacted by family, friends and acquaintances of many more soldiers in need. The soldiers are proud and do not ask for anything in return, but people who care for them have contacted us telling us of their desperate situation resulting from their injuries. These injuries to our soldiers include loss of limbs, spinal cord injuries and full or partial paralysis making life as they knew it, before they went to fight for our country, impossible.
