Introducing George M. Keyes, our First Learner from the State of Washington

I had the honor of meeting with Matt at his home in Vancouver, Washington along with his friends and family.

Matt signed his IX Articles of Agreements and represents the First Learner in the State of Washington.

Matt is our first out of state state learner and we are making plans to open our center during May 2009, in honor of Memorial Day.

We have our eye on a location at 1st and 164th street in Vancouver. It is 800 sq ft and if all goes well, we will get this location ready for business.

I look forward to seeing Matt's first blog post and your comments. God Bless you All!

P.S. I will traveling to Vermont next to sign our next out of state learner and than off to Florida and other states. Our goal is to have 12,288 learners by the end of the year.

      Sam, thank you for your comment and you must know, it is your energy and courage to sign on as our first learner that gives me the courage and stamina to reach out to other vets across the country. Thank you for inspiring me to do what I do.

      We are truly a Band of Brothers! Al

    Al, finally reaching out to learners in different states is so encouraging. I can't wait to see who we reach next and even more importantly where.

      Dan,

      We are now registered with eight states, CA, WA, VT, FL, TX, IN, UT and CO. We have learners in all those states and more! You MUST always know that your offer me the inspiration I need to forge ahead. It is you and those that will succeed you that drives me. The future is in your hands and this organization is for you to guide and direct and to be part of safeguarding the American Dream for our brothers and sisters that serve honorably to preserve democracy and justice for all. We will REFUSE TO FAIL and eradicate the notion that any veteran can become homeless. Semper Fi, Al

    Al, where do I go to get more resources so I may talk about this organization with more knowledge. Tim has his first speaking engagement next week, and I am going to see if I may attend with him. My goal is to find a job that I can be passionate about and I need 2 key ingredients to go along with it. Enough money to pay for healthcare, and not having to stand on my feet all day! My idea is for me to spread the word by speaking engagements and hopefully working something out with the Portland and Vancouver VA clinics. Tim would be the one with all the veteran information as well as his ability to get people to want to sign up to be either registered or learners. I must say I have some concern about getting funding. Your ideas, please.

DOD Welcome home-small.jpg A welcoming home for our Troops.

Welcoming home our men and women doesn't end after the crowd disperses, it MUST continue on for the life of the Veteran! They've served us, now we will serve them with programs that work so they reintegrate into society.

We are a national public benefit nonprofit organization that educates American Communities about best practices to serve Veterans.  We honor their service by empowering Veterans to apply their training and skills to successfully transition to productive careers and enterprises.

We provide free vocational training 24/7 to all of our members through our website, in addition to local events.  We believe the tenet that American Communities are the ultimate beneficiaries when Veterans claim their benefits and invest in productive endeavors.

The SWVBRC enlists the support of members of local Communities like you to increase Veteran awareness of the value of obtaining a VA card and receiving earned benefits.

Sponsorships, donations, volunteers and support from communities like yours enable us to reach out to Veterans and empower them to transition back into successful, productive enterprises that ultimately benefit all Americans and support future generations.

The Internal Revenue Service has determined that Southwest Veterans' Business Resource Center, Inc. is an organization exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. A donation to SWVBRC, Inc. is deductible to the extent permitted under law.
