WHICH I WASN'T ABLE TO GET DE
DEPL
DEPLOYED.
THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT EVENT WAS
LOSING EVERYTHING IN HURRICANE
KATRINA IN 2005.
AND THE SECOND EVENT WAS GETTING
HIT WITH A CANCER DIAGNOSIS 30
DAYS BEFORE SHIPPING TO IRAQ.
I HAD AN AGGRESSIVE FORM OF
CANCER.
MY WORLD WAS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.
I LET MY AUNT KNOW WHAT'S GOING
ON.
I DID NOT TELL MY SON.
I DID NOT WANT HIM TO WORRY FOR
ME.
FOR THE ENTIRE SIX MONTHS I WAS
RECEIVING CANCER TREATMENT, MY
SON HAD THE IMPRESSION HIS
MOTHER WAS IN IRAQ.
MY CANCER DID GET A REMISSION,
AND I WAS DISCHARGED.
I AM A VETERAN.
AND I WAS SENT TO THE DEPARTMENT
OF VETERAN AFFAIRS, FOR SUPPORT.
I DID NOT HAVE A HOME TO GO BACK
TO BECAUSE OF HURRICANE KATRINA.
I WAS UNEMPLOYMENT AT THAT TIME
BECAUSE I NEEDED ADVANCED
MEDICAL TREATMENT.
I WENT THERE SPECIFICALLY FOR
HOUSING RESOURCES.
AND I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NONE.
EVENTUALLY, I DID GET MYSELF
BACK ON MY FEET.
I WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO
FULL-TIME MILITARY DUTY.
BUT I HAD NEVER FORGOTTEN ABOUT
WHAT I WENT THROUGH.
I HAD A CREDIT CARD WITH A
$15,000 LIMIT.
AND I DEDICATED THAT ENTIRE
BALANCE TO STARTING FINAL
SALUTE.
OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE
HOMELESS WOMEN VETERANS AND
THEIR CHILDREN WITH SAFE AND
SUITABLE HOUSING.
I TOOK AN OATH 17 YEARS AGO, TO
NEVER LEAVE A FINAL COMRADE.
AND THROUGH FINAL SALUTE, I'M
HONORING THAT COMMITMENT.
>> WELCOME MAJOR JAS BOOTH.
