ARM Industry Supporters Offer Help, Hope When Vets Need It Most
Collingswood, NJ: ARMing Heroes (www.armingheroes.org), the collection industry’s charity for military veterans, today shared the story of Fletcher Crawley, a U.S. Navy veteran who dedicated 14 years of his life to serving his country, including time spent overseas. Throughout his years of service, Crawley earned several medals and commendations along the way including two Navy/Marine Achievement Medals, a Navy Sea Service Deployment Medal, a National Defense Service Medal, a Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and many others.
When a service-connected injury prompted his separation from service, Fletcher returned home to begin his journey of adjusting to civilian life; a journey he never expected would be filled with so many challenges, hardships, and desperation. Unable to work, Veterans Administration disability benefits would be his only source of income. Unfortunately it took two years for the VA to begin paying those benefits. At one point during the wait, Fletcher found himself homeless, living in his car.
