About Jacksonville's Camp Lejeune

If you have been reading my blogs, you know that I live and work in Onslow County North Carolina home of Camp LeJeune Marine Base, New River Air Station and The Naval Hospital at Camp LeJeune all located in Jacksonville NC.

Military families are my clients, friends, co-workers and neighbors. I cannot begin to tell you how much respect and gratitude I have for these families and their service to our country. They sacrifice their lives for you and me!

If you ask most Americans if they support the troops, their answer would be "Yes". I believe that is true in spirit but what do you (and most Americans) do to show their support? Sadly, the answer is "NOTHING". I urge you to take the few minutes it takes to send a thank you to military personnel serving overseas.

Xerox provides the card and instructions. It's quick, easy and so appreciated by our Troops. The site is "Let's Say Thanks".
Now go, do it! Oh and one more thing you can do --- pray for our troops safe return.

Are you aware that under current law those serving in the military who buy their first home are not likely to be able to use the first time home buyers credit?

I work with military families relocating to Camp LeJeune, New River Air Station and The Naval Hospital at Camp LeJeune in Jacksonville, N C and this has been such a disappointment to these families.

Most military are only at a duty station for a short period of time and must sell the house they have purchased before the 36 month requirement in the current law is fulfilled--which means they are not eligible for the tax credit.

Finally, someone is looking out for our service men and women.

Our own North Carolina Representative, Walter B. Jones introduced language earlier in the year that has been written into the new law that would allow military personnel to retain the first time home buyer's credit if they need to sell their home within the first 36 months due to deployment or transfers.

Thanks Rep. Walter Jones for looking out for our military families!
