MsRazor110, I assume you are female I was only there 6 weeks when this was made. They were looking for a female to be represented and they asked me at the last minute. I wish they had asked you especially since I didn't receive as much help and don't know as much still. You could have explained better I'm sure. I did the best I could for vets. Period. No harm was intended Money is needed for veteran's services and no matter who was involved, I hope we all get it!!

I just read the other posters.

First,

@Tracy91265 You looked very familiar. Were you ever at NAS Jax?

Now.

@MsRazor110

I wonder if you even are a truly a vet let alone one there. What decent vet would put down a group in the same boat for doing a commercial? IF you are telling the truth, you will get more benefit. How low! I wouldn't care if it were paid actors (as most charities use) a spot-light hog or my ex-wife, if veterans benefit, what is your problem?

I thought the Veterans did a fantastic job and they all came across as real, sincere and kind. I'm sorry Brent put this down, but I think it was very touching!

Great job!

@Tracy91265 Don't let Brent hurt you. You were still polite although she insulted you, Chaz and Gary. I think you were wonderful and real. I could tell you were being sincere and open. Your heart showed through! NICE JOB. Hope all is well for you!

@MsRazor110 Brent.... we ALL know this is you. You didn't listen did you? It was about helping Vets through "TRANSITION TIMES" like losing your home or needed VARC. It was NOT about the move from Brecksville. You are putting down the people in the video yet they were willing to be part of the solution (helping with a FUNDRAISING" video) and you only run them down. You really made a HUGE mistake about the message and once again your negative attitude is showing. What did they do to you??

[ChiefD1956]

@MsRazor110 Did you make the mistake of thinking they were talking about the transition into the new Dom? It's about the transitions the Volunteers help people get through easier, like being unemployed to being employed, or losing your home to getting into an apartment. I don't understand your complaint. And putting others down isn't going to make you look better.

Good to see Volunteers involved so strongly in my hometown!
