The Struggle for the Rights of 88,000 Veterans continues
for another year. In the new year of
2019, Ari Merretazon, James Abram, and Pointman Soldiers Heart Ministry will
continue to lead the way to give more facts and supporting evidence to bring
about the necessary independent investigation of the violations of state law by
the city of Philadelphia. We will increase our public efforts to encourage the
Veterans’ community in Philadelphia and throughout the state to step-up and
stand-up for their members' rights. We
recently received a gracious and significant in-kind donation from a Desert
Storm/Desert Shield veteran in honor of his father who is a Vietnam Veteran as
James and I are. His contribution will allow us to do a weekly hour in-studio
television program called POINTMAN FOR VETERANS. Our TV program will reach
millions of viewers, foundations, and units of government at every level. Read more Scoop USA Media, December 28,
