Moreover, this book is written to honor and acknowledge the service and sacrifice of women veterans, many of whom are also disabled and have faced the complex experiences of homelessness. The authors of this book began opening their family home to homeless women veterans in March 2005. In August 2010, the women veterans purchased a Department of Veterans Affairs Foreclosure in Fort Bragg/Fayetteville NC to help and to house homeless women veterans and their children. The house was called the Jubilee House named after the Levicticus 25 reference to the Year of Jubilee or the year of Refreshing. In January of 2011, the American Broadcasting Companies Inc. network reached out to the women veterans and offered renovate the 1300 square feet VA Foreclosure. After much consideration the family of veterans consented to have the ABC ExtremeHomeMakeover team rebuild the original Jubilee House. This seemed like the answer to prayers and hopes for honoring women veterans. ABC sought to honor the service and sacrifices of women veterans in a manner that was historical, unorthodox and avant garde. The American Broadcasting Companies Inc. acknowledged the presence of a population of veterans that has essentially been "invisible." The September 2011 episode announced to the world that women veterans are to be recognized for their service and sacrifice and are worthy of an ExtremeMakeover house renovated in their honor. The renovation brought many new challenges that had to deciphered. Nonetheless, Women Veterans are deserving of Prayers, Poems, and Promises. Over 3 Million have served since the beginning of history. Spiritual Support and prayers to all of our Sister Veterans who have courageously served.
