Responding to Inquiries of My Past Before "Rockland Homes For Heroes".

The homeless veterans program was created after years of experience of providing homes for our victims of damage to their minds. John Murphy

This is just about me but there were now and then others. In most organizations listed many joined me, coordinated with me, supported me, educated me, advised me.......I wish I could post their names, but they know what they did and do, many are gone, and it is more than words can say. I was blessed to serve with all.
