Happy Veteran's Day 2015

  

The Legacy Team at VanDyk Mortgage Cincinnati would like to wish America’s Veteran’s a Happy and Peace-filled Veteran’s Day.  We honor you and thank you for your service to our country. Without the hard work and sacrifices of the men and woman in the armed services, the rest of us would not enjoy the high quality of life we have today.

Did you know that a majority of service men and woman, once they are discharged from active duty, face many challenges adjusting to civilian life? It’s true and well documented but not necessarily well known.

Combat Veterans to Careers is an agency that works with Veterans who served in post-9/11 Iraq or Afghanistan.

Combat Veterans to Careers (CVC) was founded in The Villages of central Florida in May 2012 with the commitment to serve our nation’s combat veterans and their families.  

CVC has partnered with local residents, clubs, businesses, colleges and VA offices to bring combat veterans and their families “home” to a community that embraces them and provides education, understanding and meaningful employment to minimize hardships.

In addition to counseling, housing, career and educational opportunities, they provide veterans with opportunities to deliver services beyond themselves. This is essential to successfully reconnecting with others in the community, and is a large part of why many veterans were led to serve their country in the first place.

Accessing care and benefits through the VA, utilizing earned education benefits, training for civilian careers, securing affordable housing and developing a quality resume package are just a few of the ways we continue to help our veterans transition back into civilian life.

Here is the link to a success story from the Combat Veterans to Careers website about David Gomez an American Hero and his family. http://combatveteranstocareers.org/success-stories

 

On this Veteran’s day, take a moment to watch the video about the Gomez family in order to become more aware of the adjustment issues our veterans face while transitioning back into civilian life.  Awareness and education regarding the issues our soldiers and their families face is the first step in fixing “the system” for all of our military heroes.

Happy Veteran’s Day 2015 from VanDyk Mortgage Cincinnati. We proudly serve our veteran’s and active military persons by growing their family’s legacy through home ownership.
