re: I found this recent story quite bothersome...another bothersome story...
Though the federal government provides financial support for wounded veterans, many of the most severely injured rely on their families for housing and basic care.
However...recognzing how ill equipped families are to care for the disabled men and women in their homes, construction supervisor John Gonsalves founded Homes for our Troops (homesforourtroops.org) to provide cost-free adapted houses. Since 2004 he and hundreds of volunteers have built 36 homes for disabled vets.
