Our Country Called....They Answered.


If you're in the real estate business long enough, you will meet a wide variety of people. Your life becomes a sea of people, all day long some that just talk the facts and some that want to tell you their hopes and dreams. But, every once in a while, a client washes ashore that has a dream that's based on facts. A hope that you can't help but do you best to grab hold of and work towards. I recently met such a client when Lt. Colonel Tim Maxwell called.

You see Tim is a Warrior whiwas wounded in Iraq. He had numerous injuries but the brain injury has had the most devastating effects. He has undergone surgery and is recovering, but every day is a challenge. The day I spent walking property with him was the day I realized I had met
a true HERO in every sense of the word.

The fact is Tim is a Marine! He was taught to fight and pull for the team at all costs. He did this through six deployments in Irag since 9/11 and is continuing to do so today. He can't fight on the battlefield any longer, but he has new fight for all of the Wounded Service Members out there. He has established SemperMax which is a corporation devoted to supporting, employing and advocating our Wounded Warriors and their families.

He came to me with the dream of opening a camp that will allow Wounded Warriors to come together to and support each other as the Team they were trained to be.  He has been accomplishing this through conferences all throughout the country but wanted a place to establish a Retreat. He believes he has found that spot. 

I hope you will watch this video and learn more about Tim's noble cause. With 18 Veterans a day taking their own life, we should all sit up and take notice....They Answered Our Call....Will We Answer Theirs?

I've had the pleasure of meeting Tim at an event here in Woodbridge.  He and thousands like him are true hero's and deserve our support every day.

@Cindy - I haven't had the pleasure of hearing him speak at an event but I'm sure it was great!

 

@ Mike - That's my goal to help spread the word. I thought my fellow AR members could help spread the word by reblogging, posting the video to facebook or by donating.
