My friend owns land out in West Virginia, and this property is adjacent to his. Basically what they do is have vacation property out in the country for vets, and the families of those killed in the war that they can use free of charge. I went into the rental cabin (it is very nice) and talking to the guy who built it for vetlands really made me believe in what they are doing. It is all a non profit charity.
