What is something you do or a belief you hold, that others think you're crazy for?
Re-purposing abandoned military facilities to house, treat and rehabilitate homeless vets and employing them as a workforce to rebuild and strengthen this country's crumbling infrastructure. These are highly trained individuals whose skills (paid for by taxpayer money) are unique, priceless and very much needed. At these facilities, they can be provided medical treatment, nutritional and physical needs and further their education. Most importantly, they can get back their self worth and sense of purpose. They joined the military for a reason. It is our duty to show them their decision was not made in vain.
