In thinking about this I'm reminded of the "stand down" that military units will do to focus on a specific mission. Our local VA (Charelston, SC) does one every year to focus on reaching out to homeless vets - with several operating and recently closed bases in the area, there are a lot of vets.

BTW -I poked around your website and Linked In. I enjoyed some of your articles and such on your website.

Thanks for your comments!
