Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Country star Tim McGraw is putting his money where his heart is.
McGraw announced that he will be giving away a total of 36 homes to veterans and is paying them off so that the soldiers don’t have to worry about a mortgage payment.
“I can honestly say that I got as much — or more — out of the experience than the veterans who received the new homes and assistance,” McGraw said in a statement. “These families made an incredible mark on me, and I’m more grateful than I’ve ever been for the sacrifices they make every day to serve our country.”
McGraw has worked with an organization called Operation Homefront to help veterans who have not been able to obtain mortgages for homes because of the recent economic problems and restrictions placed on credit and borrowing.
“My sister’s a veteran, my uncle’s a veteran, my grandfather was a veteran, one of my best friends is a veteran,” McGraw said in an interview. “I’ve known people my whole life who are in service to America. And I think in my position to be able to do something like that is probably the ultimate thing.”
The organization has given away over 100 homes to veterans through efforts with McGraw and Chase Bank.
I am very happy to see someone as famous as he is, is willing to help veterans that are in need of so much help. If only others famous people or people that have millions of dollars can actually buy at least one home for a needed veteran that would make a difference. I know first hand how much the veteran and their family go through everyday. I am a veteran with Lupus, PTSD and other disabilities from serving my country and my now ex-husband who is also a veteran, because the stress of military family go through a lot of us are divorced and single parents. I want to thank-you on behalf of many needed military veteran and God Bless you.
