So what will be their excuse when this sells BIG and their anti-military trash (like Jarhead) flops?
WHY
I had been looking for an opportunity to serve my country for a long time. I had mentioned to my friends that I wanted to volunteer as far back as the Gulf War to go into the military. My friends laughed at me and told me I was too old to join and the military wouldn't take me. I looked into it and they were right: I was too old. The idea of serving my country remained in my mind.
Over the past few years from varying sources -- Time Magazine, books, and television -- information began coming to my attention on Foster Care; its history and the current crisis of an antiquated system overburdened with 580,000 children who have no voice.
Children need to be protected by interstate technology systems that can track placements, education, medical records and protect these children from predators traveling from state to state.
I saw Foster Care as a way for me to serve my country in a system by which shining a little bit of light could benefit a great deal by helping kids who were literally wards of the Government.
I met with the Government in February and voiced my concerns for the current state of the Foster Care system. I expressed to them my desire not only to help these children get back to the families they need and want but also my desire to actively advocate for the domestic adoption of over 134,000 children who are now available to be adopted but who are living their childhoods in Foster Care. I had decided to become the National Spokesperson for Children in Foster Care. I hope this area of the site educates and informs.
NOW, THIS IS A MAN .. HURRY UP WITH THE MOVIE, BRUCE. WE'RE SALIVATING HERE ;).
