Kevin Ferris – the only sane journalist left at the Philadelphia Inquirer writes a weekly column titled ‘Back Channels’. This column is consistent jolt of reality in the wake of a steady stream of hopey-changey bylines produced by this newspaper.
In truth, Kevin is not only a talented writer, but a genuinely likable fellow that I call a friend. This particular piece needs to be spread far and wide as it highlights the good capitalism brings to society.
This week on Back Channels: Helping Fighters Thrive
Working with Wall Street WarFighters, Philadelphia brokerage firm Drexel Hamilton is helping disabled veterans begin new careers in the financial sector by providing training with financial professionals. The goal is to have veterans successfully complete the securities certification exam and find placement in the financial service industry.
Retired General, U.S. Marine Corps, Peter Pace thinks it is a great way for “industry leaders to contribute to the life of a wounded warrior in a very meaningful way.” I quite agree, lets build a bionic wall street – better than it was before – one wounded warrior at a time.
Anything that Pete Pace supports has got to be of substantial benefit to our Heroes.
Wall Street rarely does anything that does not serve it’s best interests and I reckon that this puts to rest John Kerry’s assinine statement, “You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.” Our Wounded Warriors will contribute and work to get beyond their wounds and be productive citizens in a different venue. Massachuttets got stuck with Kerry. Nuff said on that. If he did not marry Money he would be working for ACORN.
The real American Patriots are multi faceted treasures that find a way to contribute to the Nation they fought for. Drexel Hamilton is to be highly commended for this endeavor.
Skye, you renewed my faith in folks that wear a suit and tie to work and invest in a future in America that does not involve Socialism or some redistribution of wealth to the undeserving and America hating Regime. If left alone, Capitalism can succeed and America can become prosperous again. Obviously Drexel Hamilton shares my faith.
Thanks Skye!
You are most welcome, Old Trooper 🙂
