and The Villages. There are so many great things going on in The Villages and Combat Veterans to Careers has to be one of the best. We all hear and read how our young Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are struggling to find employment, continue with their education, deal with their health issues and still provide for their families.   The Villages, and its residents, as well as community government and local businesses has afforded full support to this program and made it their mission to provide opportunities for veterans who are ready for a life-long, rewarding career in the golf course and landscape maintenance industry.  Yesterday at Lake Sumter Market Square they held a charitable fun walk, appropriately called Walk In Their Boots, where we were able to meet many of the Veterans.  Through this type of direct and personal  contact  with our community…The Villages and the Villagers, the veterans and their families are made to feel welcome and appreciated for their service to our country.  Each veteran will be sponsored by a family of “certified” volunteers who are committed to providing a network of support to them and their families.  How great is that.   I think we will be hearing much more about this program in the future, but if you would like to have more information right now you can call 631-867-8146, or go to 1000 Main St. Suite #248 in Spanish Springs Town Square, or go to www.combatveteranstocareers.org.  The Villages is the gift that keeps giving and this is one more example of a very precious gift they are giving those Veterans that gave so much for us.
