More veteran friendly companies
I must say how all but the two companies I mentioned before (Comcast and Barnes & Noble’s) really seem to respect our mission abroad and the troops sent into harm’s way.
Allied Waste didn’t charge me for the quarter and Verizon waved all their charges for the entire month without hesitation. After having to put out over $400 for Iraq it is nice to have less expense this final month.
Primerica was easy as anything to modify my beneficiaries and Desarri from Harleysville National Bank has made herself the contact person for my customers to send their checks to. I do think I somehow owe her dinner when I come back though. Again no dessert lady banker!
Lastly, I have to once again mention Joe Ryan. Joe was a Marine who later started a law firm and successfully fought corruption as a county controller and as well led the county to attain a AAA bond rating which less than 1% of all counties in the US attain. Now, Joe is helping young pups like me. He donated his firms’ time and resources to ensure I had a proper will, power of attorney, and living will setup. Joe gave me much peace in my mind and I am very appreciative.
Thank s again to all the companies who respect and understand what those of us in the military do on a daily basis.
