Letter of Appreciation

Please accept my most deepest appreciation for the unwavering attention to detail “Veteran Path To Hope” formally known as TLS has played during my previous court cases, as well as providing me food & counseling during this time.

The actions and dedication of all employees has left a huge impression on my life. These tasks went above any non-profit group I have ever come in contact with.

As such word of your skills to compartmentalize unforseen amounts of information has reached as far as Lake County.

My hat will forever be off to the dedication and unselfish attitude toward never leaving a Veteran behind.

Please feel free to call or contact me anytime if you need expounding on the elite performance of Veterans Path to Hope.

 

Very Respectfully,

Sal DePillo, Retired USN/HM2 (FMF/SW) PMT
