  1. I am a veteran also, I was referring to working with the VA on this program to be sure if falls within guide lines for the Veterans to reach/receive the maximum benefits for themselves. IE medical care, counseling, just everything I can help them receive. I have spoken with a few people so far and even discussed an intern ship at this new place for social workers. The VA if you look requires a minimum of one year for a social worker to work at the VA. I propose a internship where they live and work here. They attain their one year with veterans so that way when they go to work at the VA they are much more ahead of the game. Many different ways to go about so many different things. I feel councilors are important on some level to these veterans. So I guess the answer you are looking for is not money to the VA but working in conjunction with the VA for counselors. It is all the same thing right? About helping our veterans. Thank you for asking.
  2. Even if you held it now until the RV if you have it physically in your control but yes if you are going to give it to an individual ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, absolutely give them the dinar to cash in. You could however cash it in all your self and then give them several smaller amounts such as $4500 at a time just as an example. to avoid double taxes.
  3. I appreciate this and I am sure I have a name or two in common of whom is already contacted on this matter. What I feel is a shame is that "To cut you need a knife" and in Iraq the knife was our troops. Without that knife not one of us would be in the potential wealth we are today. How about a thank you, even of 1%? of your cash in. It is a tax deduction. you will receive a receipt from it. You can always pay by check and have your own receipt. You will also receive my Federal Tax ID numbers at that time too. The kids are our future and children with disabilities such as blind or even deaf for that matter most often have no mental handicaps. Not true on all occasions but with that being said too it may be one of these children we help that does something great in this life. Could create some new energy device, become something or someone great in many things. I had a neighbor that was blind and worked for NASA. Did a lot of computer repair as well. He used his hands to trace panels using low amperage and is a engineer. Remembers everything. I actually have a couple of emails from a few folks that have said, here so you can contact me when this is done. I have them saved and thank you for that. I have spoken to a few on the phone too. You few people know who you are. People I have my own dinar, I will have a couple of acres adjacent to the Veterans Farm. This is not for me, it is for them. I thank you for those who have replied and committed to this with me. I respect that. That list of mine is very short Thank you.
  4. Wow, I just spoke with someone in Oregon. I now have the facility, it needs some remodeling, there is medical on staff, there are music instruments, (Some) there is a cafeteria, maintenance dept. there are classrooms, .............Just everything. Almost...No students. There was a great warm welcome to this potential. I promised nothing but inquired and gave my word that I would do everything within my power to bring this to fruition. There was a bit of phone tag but it was answered immediately on both ends. The biggest struggle at first will be to as I said....... 1. Remodel or add to one area for the dorms. 2. Bring in the teachers for the blind students. 3. Additional materials for the students and teachers. 4. Salary's for the first few years to show the state success. 5. There is a great need for this and I will be receiving a call from one of the state politicians on Thursday. ( in regards to this new school for the blind.) 6. So there is that struggle which is out of our hands but that being said we need to bring this as best we can. I can not even to begin to remember everything we just covered but they will be getting back to me on Thursday as well with the list of needs to make this work. This person I spoke with is a state employee that actually handles all of this and has been trying to make something like this work with no success financially. Should we do this all we need is the finances. They have everything including the contractors to complete it. I know I am being somewhat vague but when this RV's I promise you this. You keep in contact with me both now and right after the RV I will send all of you in contact on this project all the details and the contact. You can then know comfortably who you are sending the money straight too and bypass me completely. I am doing the legwork now and so are they. It will be done in a few days. Their people are putting it all together. I will be able to list the amount for the school and from there all I need from you to me is the pledge. (to reach the amount) This is wonderful and literally ten times easier then I thought. Then you can get with me direct on the Veterans project. I hope you all do help with both of these. One last note. When I told them I was working with a wonderful group of investors that I was trying to raise the donations from they said, well if you make this work then we could all go to the facility to officially open it should we choose. Project one completed if we can do the finance. This state employee has everything else in place except the funds. Thank you all. God Bless. PS can you tell I am just a little excited? lol
  5. I never told my ex wife I can tell ya that much lol or my kids. just a couple of close friends that are now in it and my mom and brother who are also now in it. Thats it.
  6. Do your self a favor and do not tell anyone (neighbors) after it rv's either. Save a lot of head aches lol as for the wife, do not tell her right away either, just go and get her a roof full of roses and surprise her. Then take her out for a new diamond ring and dinner or something special. She will probably question very little what you do after that.
  7. I agree. I was moved by the school closing, I have already placed calls to Oregon to delve into this. As I have said, To go and find property if I have not already, build the facility and leave. Plain and simple? No I think it would be nice to cover the first year finances for the school if possible too. I know I am reaching right well no more than they are. Then I want to give back to those that brought us here. The Veterans. Yes we are the luckiest to be here. To be in this potential victory and not to give back for me would just be a kick in the pants to all who have served. The children are our future as well. I also believe the more you give of yourself in this life, not only can we hold our heads up high while here but the better it will be after. I would gladly donate that too!
  8. Depending on the location it would be very optimal. I am open for any and all and of course would go for the best opportunity. Keep in mind to do a self sustaining venture though farm land for crops, cattle, (our own meat) chickens make eggs for breakfast, lots to provide etc. would be essential to keep funds circulating. After it is built there is but so much to continue, this will not only provide pride and accomplishment without having to go outside the wire for work but feed and income from sales of cattle etc, to boot. Location location location lol Just trying to think of making it survive on its own. I was going to go solar and wind as well. Fully self contained as much as possible. IE no bills if we can help it.
  9. Understood, what most people do not know is I am in that same boat. I totally gotchya
  10. You all are awesome. People can be too, even a small donation can achieve so much if people did it. One of my best friends, A vet, just sent me this, you have seen the San Diego one here is one in Illinois. This problem is everywhere my friends. I intend to work with the VA first hand for sure. Location will be important but so is peace of mind for them. Anyway thanks again to all so far. So few post for so many views. This is giving back to the ones who brought us here in the first place. Check this out, there is so so many all over. http://www.helpaveteran.org/
  11. Net dania is showing it up 1.73 iqd to the eur and 11% Moving here too http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=IQD&to=EUR&view=1D
  12. Correct from all that I understand except #3 I am not sure about the GOI being paid but though it was the Iraqi people that have been issued the smart card. I think that was what 2 of the 6 million people? Not sure but believe that is what I read. It is in the forums somewhere But that is only who is holding the cards and not been paid but the rest,,,YES I agree with you on.
  13. You read again, I did not call you stupid either. Furthermore I did witness him while he called our regional office to confirm his information too as he was also checking with them for the current buy rate for me. So yes I am providing the information I was given. Directly. I also was not referring to your particular travel but in general to all reading. Things one must consider when making their own decisions. This was not all about you. I also sat in a Citizens bank and yes they have their own charges and currently deal from BOFA and they also have a spread of their own. (BOFA) that is. I will not do business there any longer either. I did not physically sit in ten banks or check with ten banks but I did with 2 of which I know the people personally as my bankers for years and 5 others. Chase and 5/3 were the only ones I was given good information from and the rest were no goes for me. US bank, Citizens, BOFA, and two small local banks.
  14. If you watch this then you will see why the veterans are my project number 2 the first one should only take a few months to build and donate http://www.vvsd.net/ I am going to make a facility on my land where veterans can get an online associates degree and work and live, wear uniforms, have roll call, I will bring back the comfort zone but without the stress. They can work the cattle, rescue horses, dogs, and grow crops in the spring and reap the benefits of their labor. Be proud of them selves and have the family of veterans they long for while learning how to start over. Case per case basis will allow longer stay provided progress is achieved. Over 900 homeless just in San Diego Cali alone.
  15. My point exactly, that is who I spoke with t 5/3 when ordering my dinar from same branch. Also their branch manager. Two people handle it at that branch, one lady and him. I have contacted many as well and do not speak to just speak. You can continue this if you like but I know what facts I know from whom I spoke too. Thank you very much. Let me come back in to add... Even if you had a spread what are you going to spend traveling, hotel for many or even most, your time, fuel or gas, plane ticket, etc. Go for it. I will sit at home and pay nothing. You also have bargaining power with your local bank depending on the amount of transaction but I guess this manager was wrong with that one too right? lol so anyway. I am done with stupidity. Stupidity you ask, well when you were not there and doubt or question anothers conversation with their personal manager well yes it is then at the point of making a stupid remark that you know absolutely nothing about as you were not there and I know many others in dinar that have gotten the same answers I have. Good day!
  16. Not to mention the cost of the trip, so do, do your homework and figure your cost and profit margin plus expense. You do that and it will answer your own questions.
  17. Well that is absolutely not true, I spoke with my branch manager at 5/3 and chase where I have had my two accounts and was told by both that I would not be charged a spread other than what CBI has in Iraq for the spread that everyone will pay. Which is what I said. At the bank. I did do my homework. PERIOD! What ever the exchange rate on the computers is what I will get.

  20. Easier solution, simply go to your bank and don't pay the extra, all local no travel no worries, no transfers, done. It will be accepted once it gets that far. Many banks will not charge a spread for their customers either. If they do change banks.
  21. Every little bit helps... Kids are our future Also a side note, anyone starting any business this would look great on their portfolio;)
  22. Plain and simple, if O had a clue then the elections would have went far different from what they did. He may have had the surgical implantation to the seat he holds from someone like Soro's but he is too far and too much an ID 10 T to know when to hold em and when to fold em. lol What an a@@ clown. The nation is speaking now.
  23. Electronic banking, debit card like you carry now from your bank but their version if my memory serves me correctly. I was told may look like the military ID cards carried now with the sim card grid on the back.
