 Bill Haynes, SBT employee and VFW member, helps cut the ribbon to open the new VFW lodge. SBT recently lent $20,000 interest free to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall in Largo, Florida. The old VFW lodge burned down leaving many veterans without a place to gather. Bill Haynes, valued SBT employee and VFW member, brought this community need to the company's attention. The lodge served as a place for veterans to socialize and re-assimilate back into civilian life. The $20,000 loan allowed the VFW to purchase a new lodge and resume their gatherings. The VFW provides veterans with access to a vast network of resources and helps members find support and community among people who have had similar experiences. Bill Haynes expressed gratitude to SBT, "Thank you very much from the membership of VFW post 10094 and myself."

That is absolutely great for the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall in Largo, Florida! After serving in the military for years, they really deserve to receive such kindness and compassion from other people. I cannot imagine how horrible it must have been for them to leave their families in order to enter the U.S. military, but I am happy that there are people like them who are brave enough to sacrifice their own lives. They really deserve to be considered as heroes. My grandfather was a military veteran, too, and I am so proud of all the things he sacrificed for our family. Leave a Reply. |
