Veteran Testimonials

"Dave Hall told me, you've been looking for an excuse to leave ever since the day you got here. And it just hit me, wow, he saw that? He just looked me in the eyes and said, I want you to stay. I see that you need it, and I see that you can get it; I love you brother. And that right there did it because nobody in my life has done that for me, and I'm 68 years old."
