Help For Veterans

| Welcome |

 

Are you, or do you know of a veteran in need?  Provided below is the contact information for some government and community-based service providers who are ready, willing and able to provide veterans with the assistance and care they need.  Although these agencies primarily service the Northern California region, they should be able to provide a referral to a caregiver in your local community when possible.

 

Veteran, do you need help?  Pick up the phone and call today – help is only a phone call away.

Veteran –

 

That list to the left looks a little lean to me.

 

- Do you know of any other national or local Veterans Service Organizations who say what they mean and mean what they say?

 

- IÕm specifically looking to link to excellent LOCAL veterans service organizations like the Vietnam Veterans Of Diablo Valley, who put boots on the ground and make things happen, instead of just sitting around and talking about it over coffee.

 

- If you know any of these that can gladly replace this plea, email me their contact information as soon as possible to: introspicere@yahoo.com

 

Thank you!

PERFECT LOVE

 

   C                         Em             Am

If I could SPEAK from all understanding

   C            Em                          Am

If I had all FAITH to move the mountains

   C                          Em   Am

If I had the goods to feed those who are in need

   F                           G                              A

With these things without Love they are nothing at all

 

Chorus:

          Em                Am

Cause our LOVE is your LOVE

         Em           Am

And your love is true

         Em           Am

We love with your love

                         A

And our love is true

 

   C                  Em           Am

Perfect love is patient and gentle

   C                  Em           Am

Perfect love is giving and forgiving

   C                  Em           Am

Perfect love is joyous and peaceful

   F                           G                              A

For it is this way that God has made perfect love

 

(Chorus)

 

   C              Em                  Am

Perfect love bears and believes with all faith

   C              Em                  Am

Perfect love hopes and endures will all things

   C          Em          Am

Perfect love never fails us

   F                        G             A

It is this love that God has for us

 

(Chorus)

 

    A

Our love is true

    A

Our love is true

    A                 Em     A

Our love is true with you
