The NJ team got a head start on the Deck For A Soldier® project in Bloomingdale, NJ late last week. The old, deteriorated porch and roof were removed. New footings were dug and poured so the crew could start building the new porch and roof on Monday, 3/19.
Volunteers are lined up and on site this week to help get the new porch framed and decked. The railings are expected to be installed by the end of the week and be ready to start building the roof next week.
Volunteers are on site today until the snow kicks them out.
What an amazing group of members & volunteers. We can’t thank you enough for your time, materials and efforts on this build.
Be sure to check out the gallery below of current photos from this week.
Thank you!
Bruce Verblaauw – NADRA National Deck for Soldier® Committee Chairman,

Nearly 17 years ago, a great thing happened to Matt Breyer. He got fired.
The 21-year-old had just celebrated his birthday and thought his employer was calling him into his office on a Friday afternoon in November 2001 to compliment him, maybe even increase his salary. Breyer was on a roll, looking forward to his December wedding.

How to break that cycle? Everyone in the company should do only what will get done if they do it.

Friends, we’ve all been there! Remember the piece of furniture or kid’s toy that had these dreaded words printed on the side of the box: "Some Assembly Required." How could we forget! As we opened the box, we crossed our fingers and our toes and hoped that the majority of the work was already done for us. However, that was never the case.
