 a family rises this monring....off to school...the apartment is cold, even though it is not too cold outside, the stove does not work..the landlord never fixed it, the rats are running...or perhaps another mom and her daughter who came into our Restore asking for help.. we have no bed..there are mice on the floor, we just can t live this way...or Jose and his family, when can we move in..or Mrs Y, calls and says, they jacked up the rent again..when can we move in...the house will be finished this week it will be finished this week, you will be in for June 1...
These are the changes we hope to make, from lousy sub standard conditions, to homes, from basement apartments wtih flooding to storing things in the basement for the Memorial Day cookout with a yard in the back for their first holiday...where will  you be this weekend..what will you celebrate Memorial Day...how will you be living...
Our veterans come home from Iraq...great parades, great accolades, thank you sir, yes sir, good to be back home..they might say..but maybe not good to be back in their small apartment that costs more than 50 percent of their income..where do they live..who hires them, any veterans home ownership programs coming up..
Habitat is commited this weeked to help the Veterans, to announce the need for creating safe
decent homes for those that have protected us, for those that we wake up every morning too, in a safe neighborhood, while the soldiers wake up praying, God give me another safe day today...

my uncles fought in WWII, in England, in Anzio, my cousin killed in Vietnam...make this memorial day special..and make a commitment to our newly announced Homes for Veterans program..

how and wheree did you wake up this morning.....God bless, jjk
