Review for Soldier On, Inc., Leeds, MA, USA
The heart and soul of Soldier on is not the people you see talking in articles, on the news, or social media. The “upper management” is only worried about making money, the veterans are the heart and soul and the residents that live there who are the ones making sure the veterans needs are being met, they’re making sure veterans aren’t relapsing or picking up, they make sure the veterans are safe at night, the staff lives there and someone is in the office 24 hours a day, they are a brotherhood looking out for each other, the higher ups don’t give a flying F*** about the veterans as individuals…they just want a body in a bed so they can collect more money. In my opinion the president, VP, and a woman that I will not name should not have anything to do with this “program” their own President has never served in the armed forces, he doesn’t even come from a family with a military background! Yet these people who have the final say in a persons life are the ones in charge of homeless veterans, how can you relate or understand the needs of someone in your program if you never walked their shoes? This program is a scam, employees that work there lie about how they help people to achieve their goals so they can get more grant money. I was part of this years ago (four to be exact) and I can tell you that there are just as many corrupt people in this organization as there are corrupt politicians, they prey on the elderly in hopes that they will donate to a good cause but the veterans never see any of that money.
Maybe The president, VP, and the unnamed female employee should give up half of their 100K a year salary and do something with it to show the veterans that they actually care.
