Santa Clarita Businessman Spearheads Wounded Veteran's Project for Rotary Club

Santa Clarita, CA, August 31, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Jim Lentini knows what it's like to come back from serving overseas and to have to work to become a productive member of society again after being wounded. That's exactly what he did after serving in Korea during 1960-61. He always wanted to be able to help other wounded vet's to do the same thing.

Lentini is a local businessman who is also a member of the Santa Clarita Rotary Club. When he found out that Santa Clarita had young men and women returning home after being seriously injured in the war, he made a commitment to get his Club moving to help them and their families with their many needs.

After forming a committee, Lentini's 'Wounded Vet's Project' was born. He is currently working with several government agencies to locate the young veterans and to find out exactly what they need.

"The government takes care of their medical expenses, but these families need help with so much more," said Lentini from his Sand Canyon home. He went on tell of the hardships endured by other family members when they are assisting a seriously wounded veteran with their day to day needs.

The Rotary Club is taking this project nationwide, and Lentini would like to see every Club in the United States have a similar project to help with other returning wounded veterans.
