Both the Bensons and others would be much better served if the parties involved were left to work this issue to a reasonable conclusion. Sadly, that may not be possible now. Public accusations on this blog against BABA Support Our Troops, Inc must be defended publicly, which means that ALL INFORMATION regarding the Bensons roll in this matter shall also be required as public information, so that everyone that is so eager to dicredit BABASOTI will have ALL OF THE FACTS of this unfortunate issue on which to base an opinion. For those of you who have already made judgement without all of the facts, shame on you for such un-American actions. Just for the record, let me state that I have spent more than twenty years of my adult life as a U.S Marine, willing to give my life to protect and defend the people and The Constitution of The United States of America against all enemies both foreign and domestic. That would include persecution without facts!!! I am not making these statements to defend one side or the other, but to point out the fact that this blog is one sided and unfair to all parties involved.<br /><br />Semper Fi<br />E8C-OUTMSgt JD Collett USMC (Ret.)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544231281057502234.post-67990894610152214542010-04-28T17:31:57.653-05:002010-04-28T17:31:57.653-05:00Wow a Cookie Cutter Response.

First let me just say whoever is tell you we declined to build the Benson family a home is misleading you. The home has been put on hold due to an issue with the Benson family that we are not able to discuss with you at this time unless you can provide written permission from the Benson's allowing us to discuss the matter with you. We have made a promise to the Benson family to not discuss their personal issues without their written consent. <br /><br />God bless,<br /><br />V/R<br />Daniel Vargas<br />Executive DirectorKat Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05965877538530868870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544231281057502234.post-42566918739259586782010-04-28T10:59:05.296-05:002010-04-28T10:59:05.296-05:00This is wrong on so many levels.

Look at all our veterans on the street. I do not understand what the issue is. A personal matter between the participants is not in any clause that I know of concerning benefits.

This is the reply I received from Daniel Vargas, Executive Director:<br /><br />"First let me just say whoever is tell you we declined to build the Benson family a home is misleading you. The home has been put on hold due to an issue with the Benson family . . ."<br /><br />And, apparently, since I had told them I intended to contact my Congress critters about this situation, Mr. Vargas decided a bit of smart-assery was also called for when he finished with this:<br /><br />"We also welcome any discussions with any representative's or senators on any matters that concern Operation FINALLY HOME. Please let us know if you need the contact information for your representatives/senators. We would be more then happy to help you make contact with them."<br /><br />Can you say "pompous and arrogant?" I knew you could. Especially for someone who doesn't proofread.

Hell, no Veteran should be treated this way by anyone! As my husband says, there is no such thing as a "stable" military family (non-military for that matter), but I've never seen a better group of people more dedicated to not only taking care of their families but the country's as well. I had the honor of growing up in a military family and it has made me a better person. I wonder if the members of BABA even realize what being a Veteran is all about? We don't know what our Veterans go through or even imagine what they live with everyday of their lives. So for BABA to treat the Bensons in this manner is horrendous and I for one will be forwarding their story to as many people as I know and then some.Theresanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544231281057502234.post-44101062996059735502010-03-09T13:50:43.140-06:002010-03-09T13:50:43.140-06:00TO THE PUBLIC:

He was referring to Chris Carney who in 2004 rode 5,000 miles across the US and raised $1,000,000. That money gave WWP the shot in the arm it needed to go from John's basement to the national organization it is today. Jack is following in Chris' footsteps, er uh, tire marks, and is supporting the troops with his sweat. Maybe WWP should sell magnets? ;-)<br />Keep on peddling!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544231281057502234.post-54155139842465913442009-08-19T08:55:44.469-05:002009-08-19T08:55:44.469-05:00I emailed Jack but obviously no internet service. ...I emailed Jack but obviously no internet service.
