Team UP:Llet this old veteran say thank you, for your work in the field of outreach and academic understandings. I waited a day to see if comments would find a home here, to share ideas and solutions, and I was not surprized there was not one comment. Its was to me predictable in both a scientific and cultural equation. However, I know communities care, I know communities are concerned and I know a change is coming! Your work must not stop until the homeless & distressed find the pathways to this same community. Opposites attract, its a physics thing.

My team, like yours is centric in its quest, We stand with you at chalkboards with our veteran population, and we have learned, that the veteran in transition from distress to treatment and cascading into what we wrote Ca(v) or community-active veteran

is doable. Your film showed veterans, and also touched on the “ethos” as a bonding and community aspect. This is a clue to ongoing succcesses. Direct and concise experiences are a human nee that bonds us to our potentials. discover an addicted potential and you halfway there. Sober judgements are a passion and are only met with ones potential to share it in bonds of failures and successes.

The Veteran Potential Movement-Its A Gateway Thing”
Many say “there are 130,000 homelss veterans”, and I say so where are the 70,000 that were there last five years that made up 10 (5th x2 )or 200,000? Or where are the tens-of-thousands of former homeless veterans the press liked to pound or mostly not wonder abouton? I say they are mentoring, coaching, and fullfilling civic-engagements and you don’t even see it. Families revisted and truths shared brings potential to a higher equation. Ending homeless is a calling, managing it is a wasted of lifes potentials, for the person, the neighborhoods and the nattion.

You see outreach is a calling, for homelessness or missionless, mental health, veteran men & women of all walks. Out-reach is calling now, and together as a community, sharing in firstly a dialog, we can bring the distressed home. I have seen it for over ten years, now, my team, my mentors, my communty in Pittsburgh knows it is more than possible to create a home, firstly in ones heart, mind and spirit. I’ve learned “heal the spirit, and the bodies follow”. Please next time your in Pittsburgh, meet the “mentors, veterans who love to lead by example, and in physics opposites attract, non-veterans are our family as well. Veterans lead the way, and teach leadership…cause thats what we were taught to do as full potentials are shared in bonds of experiences. Todaysdistressed person with a needle is tomorows baseball coach or peer 2 peer court mentor to distressed youth & teens. Mentorship has a cascade equation for all to develop if allowed. Wellness as a principle goes goes farther beyond recovery in our book. Wellness includes the absolute spirited dimension of advocacy as a foundation along with mind & body.

“We see the problem in the physics, we see the solution in the humanities” our equation r, (ee2) is simply: resilience is enviornment and experience, squared. In a prime number aspect “zero-tolerance is a prime number (2) any absents of one(1) is …..isolation. and yes, “Its a Pittsburgh, Gateway Thing”

I’m honored to know of your continuing work at UP. Please give a salute to your team from us and call on us anytime you come this way. I remain, Jim White, http://twozerothree.org
