Current Veterans Relief Projects

783 received a request for a flag raising ceremony from an USMC veteran, who served with the 9th Marines during Vietnam in 1965. The 85-year-old Blairsville man asked that a detail raise two new flags (U.S. and U.S.M.C.) at his home before his health declines any further.  783 is making plans for the event and a detail is being formed.

783 is teaming up with the Beacon Team (1st Baptist Church Blairsville) to make the home of an U.S. Navy veteran’s handicap accessible. A site visit has been made at the Vietnam veteran’s home and the project is currently in the design stage. 

783 is managing a home repair project for a Blairsville U.S. Army veteran who served in Vietnam. The project calls for deck repair, exterior door replacement and siding replacement. The effort is currently in the planning stage. 

783 recently paid the veterinarian bill for the dog of a homeless man in Hiawassee.  Cameron, the grandson of two WWII veterans had been living in the parking lot at a local church.  Sadie had gotten loose and was struck by a car in the parking lot, thus receiving various injuries.  She was treated and held overnight for observation.  Later on, local police department personnel were able to work with the Cameron in finding a good home for Sadie783 has been advised that Sadie is happy and loves playing with her new brothers and sisters in her forever home.

VCI is committed to those who have served our country, but this mission would not be possible without the public's support.  Your donations make project such as these manageable.   Tax deductable donations can be made by clicking on this link.
